Creeping bentgrass is considered the premier turfgrass species
grown on golf courses, and there is a growing demand for an
understanding of its maintenance and management practices. Still
the only comprehensive reference on the subject, Creeping Bentgrass
Management, Second Edition helps you identify the factors that
contribute to summer bentgrass decline and guides you in selecting
the best approaches for stress and pest management. This full-color
book delves into all aspects of modern approaches to creeping
bentgrass management on golf courses. It describes the nature of
mechanical, physiological, and environmental stresses and how they
influence growth and management of creeping bentgrass. The book
covers the selection of creeping bentgrass cultivars; cultural
practices, including mowing, irrigation, and topdressing; the
deleterious effects of organic and inorganic layers in golf greens;
and ways to limit injury due to mechanical or physical stresses. It
also discusses recent advances in the management of selected
diseases and soil-related maladies of creeping bentgrass-from
Pythium-incited root dysfunction to dollar spot, yellow tuft, and
blue-green algae. The focus is on common disease symptoms,
predisposing conditions, hosts, and cultural and chemical
management strategies. Advances in biological disease control are
also reviewed. The book offers practical guidance in selecting and
using fungicides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators. It also
discusses the use of non-selective herbicides and fumigants for the
renovation of creeping bentgrass and outlines strategies for
dealing with selected invertebrate pests. Throughout, color
photographs help you identify diseases and stresses that may be
affecting your own golf course. Fully revised and updated, this
