Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Rotary mulching produced the highest bermudagrass turf quality.
- Observation Turf quality varied across study years.
- Intervention effect Returning clippings produced higher quality than removing them.
- Intervention effect Bermudagrass generally did not respond to nitrogen above 200 kg per hectare.
- Intervention effect Potassium at 50 kg per hectare gave turf quality and shoot density as good as higher rates.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer treatments did not affect thatch accumulation.
- Intervention effect Rotary mulching caused greater thatch accumulation than flail mowing.
- Association Dollar spot occurred more frequently at the lowest nitrogen treatment.
