| Summary: | bentgrass greens and can significantly decrease complete block design. All disease activity was Consequently, cultivars used in blended populations cultivars to increase disease resistance merits demonstrated among single line cultivar treatments. established on a United States Golf Association general trend however was not always the case. Generally, single line cultivar performance was an in the blend compared to all treatments were they were indicator of performance in blends. Cultivars that inoculation event. Comparisons of disease activity, investigation. Five creeping bentgrass cultivars were moderately did not impact performance of treatments naturally occurring with the exception of one not included. The opposite was true for cultivars that or more cultivars within the same species have been performance of treatments were they were a component performed poorly. Cultivars that performed only performed well when planted alone increased the Plant diseases are a major problem on creeping plant-pathogen systems. Blending of creeping bentgrass possible blend combination was represented. All putting quality. Blended populations comprised of two quality, shoot density, and root length density in revealed few differences. Differences were should be selected judiciously. single cultivars compared to blended treatments specified experimental green in College Station, Texas. One, two and three-way blends were planted treatments were replicated three timed in a randomized using equal proportions of each component. Every utilized to decrease disease development in numerous where they were included as a blend component. This |
