Paul B. Woosley, Agriculture, Western Kentucky University, 1906 College Heights Blvd. #41066, Bowling Green, KY 42101-1066
‘Quickstand’ bermudagrass was aerified during late September of 2006. Three different aerification types were used. Some plots received a topdressing treatment of sand. Aerification types were solid tines, coring tines, and linear aerification. Turf quality, spring green-up, and percent weed coverage data were collected. There were significant differences in these observations among treatments. These differences will be discussed.
