PERFORMANCE OF BENTGRASS CULTIVARS AND SELECTIONS IN NEW JERSEY TURF TRIALS

Eric N Weibel Tracy J Lawson Joseph B Clark James A Murphy Bruce B Clarke William A Meyer and Stacy A Bonos1

Bentgrass species possess a distinct ability to form very dense uniform and fine textured surfaces under an extremely low height of cut As a result bentgrasses are often used in specialized high main-tenance areas such as golf course fairways tees and putting greens There are three bentgrass species predominantly used for turf creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds synonym = A stolonifera L) colonial bentgrass (A tenuis L or A capillaris L) and velvet bentgrass (A canina L) In addition highland or dryland bentgrasses (A castellana Boiss amp Reut) can be options for turf in stressful areas but these tend to be less commonly utilized because they are less attractive than the more common species when a high quality turf is needed Due to an ag-gressive growth habit and adaptability to a variety of climates creeping and velvet bentgrasses are most suitable for the very low cutting heights required for golf course greens in the United States Colonial bentgrasses respond best to a slightly higher height of cut therefore these are usually better suited for fairways in temperate areas of the United States

Creeping bentgrasses are highly stoloniferous and have a prostrate growth habit which allows for persistence under very low mowing heights Cut-ting heights of 110 of an inch are not uncommon on many top tier golf courses This species is highly adapted to both cool temperate as well as warm humid regions of the United States making it the most popular species used on golf course putting greens in temperate areas Its vigorous spreading growth habit also contributes to its ability to repair damaged areas quickly In 1954 H B Musser re-leased lsquoPenncrossrsquo the first seeded synthetic variety of creeping bentgrass (Musser 1959) Since then breeding efforts have markedly improved creeping bentgrasses to withstand the increasing demands of the game of golf including the need when compared

to older varieties for better turf quality darker green color improved shoot density improved traffic toler-ance and recuperative ability and increased disease and stress tolerances

Creeping bentgrasses are susceptible to a num-ber of pathogens and pests Dollar spot (caused by the fungus Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) is one of the main disease problems of close-cut creeping bentgrass However these grasses can also be susceptible to brown patch (Rhizoctonia solani) copper spot (Gloeocercospora sorghi) anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) and diseases caused by Pythium spp

Colonial bentgrass also referred to as browntop has traditionally been used as a lawn and golf course grass in areas of Northern Europe and New Zealand that have mild (cool and humid) summers Compared to creeping bentgrasses colonial bentgrasses have a finer leaf texture and a more upright and less ag-gressive spreading growth habit and are generally better adapted for fairway or tee use in the warmer summer climates of the United States Colonial bent-grasses perform best in New Jersey when mowed no lower than 38 of an inch They typically have a brighter green color and better color retention during cool weather compared to creeping bentgrasses Although colonial bentgrasses generally have better dollar spot resistance and wear tolerance they are much more susceptible than creeping bentgrasses to brown patch While not lethal the playability of golf courses may be affected if brown patch is not controlled on colonial bentgrass turfs Current breed-ing efforts include improving the tolerance of colonial bentgrasses to this disease

Velvet bentgrass forms the finest-textured and most dense turf of the bentgrasses and can nearly

resemble green velvet when managed properly It spreads mainly through profuse production of erect tillers with short stolons This grass can tolerate very close mowing heat cold and shade and is one of the most drought tolerant of the bentgrasses used for turf (Skogley 1973) Due to the density and vigor of this turf even under very low mowing conditions it has been shown to be extremely effective at pre-venting the encroachment of the most prolific weed on a golf course Poa annua The spread of velvet bentgrass via stolons is more aggressive than colonial bentgrass but not as strong as creeping bentgrass

Velvet bentgrass can form excessive thatch especially at high fertility rates increased irrigation and higher cutting heights and can thus become problematic if not maintained properly Years of mis-management and the subsequent poor turf quality has given velvet bentgrass a poor reputation but recent research showed that when managed properly velvet bentgrass can create a superior turf (Brilman and Meyer 2000)

Velvet bentgrass can be susceptible to red thread (caused by Laetisaria fuciformis) and copper spot but generally has good resistance to dollar spot and brown patch Seedlings of velvet bentgrasses are susceptible to Pythium seedling root rot during establishment

During colder weather velvet bentgrass will turn a dark purple color and will take longer than the other bentgrass species to ldquogreen-uprdquo in the spring Velvet bentgrass has not been used extensively for high maintenance turf largely because its range of adaptation has not been well characterized Selec-tions of velvet bentgrass have persisted for many years in trials under New Jersey growing conditions Recent research at Rutgers indicates that the species may one day serve as a viable alternative to creep-ing bentgrass for use on golf course greens in the northeastern United States as long as proper cultural management inputs are implemented Some of the major breeding objectives for velvet bentgrass include resistance to copper spot and Pythium diseases and better wear tolerance

The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station participates in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) which evaluates many species of turfgrass including bentgrasses at various locations throughout the United States The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program conducts extensive field evalua-tions of collections and new material developed in

the improvement program many of which are a re-sult of recent collection trips within the United States and throughout Europe and Asia Collections from the British Isles Norway Sweden Spain Portugal France Finland Switzerland Scotland Italy Greece Poland Holland Hungary Bulgaria Romania Croa-tia China and the Slovak Republic serve to enhance the genetic diversity of the germplasm used in this breeding program The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program focuses on improving turfgrasses for overall quality color density uniformity texture disease resistance salt tolerance traffic tolerance and many other aspects of a turf to be grown for a variety of purposes

PROCEDURES

Bentgrass evaluation trials were established at the Rutgers Horticultural Research Farm II in North Brunswick NJ in the fall of 2011 (Tables 1 and 2) 2012 (Tables 3 to 5) 2013 (Tables 6 to 8) and 2014 (Tables 9 to 13) Trials were established on a modified Nixon loam Plot size was 3 x 5 ft for all trials except for the NTEP Greens (Table 9) and NTEP Fairway (Table 10) trials where plot size was 4 x 6 ft and 8 x 6 ft respectively Plots were hand-seeded at a rate of approximately 10 lb per 1000 ft2 All tests were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications

All sites were well drained and openly exposed to both sunlight and air circulation The annual rate of nitrogen applied mowing height cultivationtopdress-ing practices and pesticide applications for each test are presented in Table 14 The putting green tests were mowed five to six times per week during periods of active growth with a triplex or walk-behind reel mower equipped to collect clippings The fair-way tests were mowed three times per week with a triplex reel mower and clippings were removed during periods of active growth Soil pH was maintained in the range of 54 to 68 with agricultural limestone All tests were irrigated to avoid drought stress

Plots were evaluated frequently during the grow-ing season for overall turf quality (ie turf density texture uniformity color growth habit and presence of disease and insect damage) Turf quality (Tables 1 to 13) establishment (Tables 9 to 13) spring green-up (Tables 9 and 10) and disease were rated on a 1 to 9 scale where 9 represented the most desirable turf characteristic Disease ratings included dollar spot (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) brown patch (Tables

2

5 6 8 10 and 13) copper spot (Tables 2 4 and 7) and root Pythium (Tables 11 and 12) All data were subjected to analysis of variance Means were separated using Fisherrsquos protected least significant difference (LSD) means separation test

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Turf Quality Evaluations

Entries in Tables 1 through 8 are ranked accord-ing to their overall multi-year quality average Tables 9 through 13 are ranked by the average turf quality for 2015 Throughout all of the years that turf qual-ity was assessed a few varieties in each bentgrass species stood out as better performing entries

For creeping bentgrasses maintained at a putting green height of cut (Tables 1 3 6 9 and 11) 777 L-93XD Piranha Barracuda Pure Distinction and the experimental selections CMC Comp PPG-AP 102 (BCD) PGF Comp EBC Comp PSD Comp PPS Comp UCE Comp GSM Comp 4759-781012 4738-7-12 and 4740-1-6 all performed very well while Penncross Southshore Putter Alpha Cren-shaw Penn G-2 and SR 1119 were consistently among the poorest performers At fairway height (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Piranha L-93XD Flagstick 777 and the experimental selections PPG-AP 102 (BC) 11-CMC Comp 11-EBC Comp DPG Comp UCE Comp PPS Comp PGF Comp and PPS Comp creeping bentgrasses had excellent turf quality while the lowest scoring cultivars consisted of Penncross Southshore Sandhill Imperial Crenshaw and SR 1119

Overall turf quality for velvet bentgrasses was evaluated in the 2011 to 2014 trials (Tables 2 4 7 and 12) under greens height of cut The variety Vitagreen and the experimental entries PPG-AC 101 PST-Syn-VH9 ESV Comp and CDS Comp were among the top performing velvet bentgrasses within all trials The cultivars SR 7200 Villa and Greenwich displayed poor quality under these greens-type management conditions

As mentioned previously colonial bentgrasses perform better at a fairway cutting height and typically have poorer performance under putting green condi-tions Nevertheless there were several experimental colonials in putting green trials (Tables 1 and 6) that exhibited acceptable turf quality at greens height including CED Comp CMD Comp FDC Comp CEM

Comp (Table 1) and PDC Comp (Table 6) Under fairway conditions however (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Puritan and the experimental selections PPG-AT 103 Musket AT 12-4 AT 12-9 AT 12-3 11-FDC Comp PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PDC Comp 8197-81012 SDR Comp DLFPS-AT3026 WLC Comp DML WMC Comp and WEC Comp were the best performing colonial bentgrasses while SR 7150 SR 7100 and Alister generally exhibited the poor-est performance under fairway cutting heights when included in trials

Dollar Spot

The causal agent of dollar spot S homoeo-carpa causes silver-dollar shaped spots of dead turf which can converge to form larger damaged areas (Belanger et al 2005) While potentially one of the more damaging turf diseases on golf courses in the northeast dollar spot can be easily controlled with the use of fungicides however this can be expensive due to the prevalence of the fungus Also becoming more prevalent is the pathogenrsquos resistance to fungicides particularly DMI fungicides (Smiley et al 2005) In addition increased fungicide use is not beneficial to the environment

Breeding for dollar spot resistance in bentgrass is an important objective of the Rutgers breeding program Typically velvet and colonial bentgrasses have better resistance to dollar spot than do creeping bentgrasses however the results from recent trials (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) indicate that significant improvements in creeping bentgrass have been made Cultivars such as Declaration Flagstick L-93XD Memorial and 13M as well as experimental entries 11-CMC Comp EBC Comp PPS Comp PGT Comp and DPG Comp all show a high resistance to this disease while Independence Ninety-Six Two Crenshaw Putter SR 1119 Penn A-4 and experi-mental entries including MCT Comp and MCC Comp were more susceptible Of note in the 2012 fairway trial (Table 5) significant differences between colo-nial bentgrass entries were observed Entries such as Capri and the experimental varieties PRE Comp PRE2 Comp and PPG-AT 103 performed comparably better than other colonials in that trial

Brown Patch

Velvet bentgrass typically exhibits the greatest tolerance to brown patch among the bentgrass spe-cies used for turf while colonial bentgrass is the most susceptible In recent years dramatic improvements

3

have been made in breeding colonial and creeping bentgrasses for improved brown patch resistance Brown patch data is reported in Tables 5 6 8 10 and 13 In 2015 creeping bentgrasses displayed acceptable tolerance to this disease exhibiting little significant separation between entries except in the 2013 putting green trial (Table 6) where while most creeping bentgrasses were rather tolerant of brown patch Putter and several experimental lines such as PST-0COL AST-1-12-3006A AST-1-12-3009A and AP 15 were more susceptible

Over the past few years significant research has focused on improving brown patch resistance in colonial bentgrass In recent fairway trials with as-sessable brown patch disease (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) gradual improvements in disease resistance is evident In trials evaluated in 2015 the cultivars Pu-ritan Capri Musket and the experimental selections PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PPG-AT 103 DTT Comp PDC Comp SDR Comp 8195-1-6 8197-1-6 8191-7-12 AT 12-16 WLC Comp DML and WMC Comp exhibited significantly improved brown patch resis-tance compared to entries such as SR 7150 Tiger 2 and several entries from New Zealand (PGGW-02 PGGW-03 PGGW-04 and G Egmont) It should be noted that under greens height of cut (Table 6) the experimental entries PDC Comp PSY Comp and DTO Comp performed as well as or better than several of the creeping bentgrass entries in the trial

Copper Spot

This disease is becoming an increasing concern in the Northeast during the summer due to the warm wet conditions when limited DMI fungicides are used The causal agent of this disease G sorghi is a fun-gus that produces 3- to 4-inch red-brown patches on the turf Currently one of the major drawbacks in the use of velvet bentgrass continues to be the high susceptibility of this species to infection by this fungus Therefore selection of velvet bentgrass for resistance to copper spot is a major goal of the Rut-gers Turfgrass Breeding Program

During the 2015 growing season copper spot disease was assessed on velvet bentgrass in the

2011 to 2013 trials (Tables 2 4 and 7) The cultivars Vitagreen and the experimental lines CS1 Comp ESV Comp SPV Comp DS2 Comp and CANH9-1412 stood out as highly tolerant entries when compared to older varieties such as Villa Greenwich and Leg-endary which were consistently poor

PERFORMANCE OF BENTGRASS CULTIVARS AND SELECTIONS IN NEW JERSEY TURF TRIALS

Eric N Weibel Tracy J Lawson Joseph B Clark James A Murphy Bruce B Clarke William A Meyer and Stacy A Bonos1

Bentgrass species possess a distinct ability to form very dense uniform and fine textured surfaces under an extremely low height of cut As a result bentgrasses are often used in specialized high main-tenance areas such as golf course fairways tees and putting greens There are three bentgrass species predominantly used for turf creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds synonym = A stolonifera L) colonial bentgrass (A tenuis L or A capillaris L) and velvet bentgrass (A canina L) In addition highland or dryland bentgrasses (A castellana Boiss amp Reut) can be options for turf in stressful areas but these tend to be less commonly utilized because they are less attractive than the more common species when a high quality turf is needed Due to an ag-gressive growth habit and adaptability to a variety of climates creeping and velvet bentgrasses are most suitable for the very low cutting heights required for golf course greens in the United States Colonial bentgrasses respond best to a slightly higher height of cut therefore these are usually better suited for fairways in temperate areas of the United States

Creeping bentgrasses are highly stoloniferous and have a prostrate growth habit which allows for persistence under very low mowing heights Cut-ting heights of 110 of an inch are not uncommon on many top tier golf courses This species is highly adapted to both cool temperate as well as warm humid regions of the United States making it the most popular species used on golf course putting greens in temperate areas Its vigorous spreading growth habit also contributes to its ability to repair damaged areas quickly In 1954 H B Musser re-leased lsquoPenncrossrsquo the first seeded synthetic variety of creeping bentgrass (Musser 1959) Since then breeding efforts have markedly improved creeping bentgrasses to withstand the increasing demands of the game of golf including the need when compared

to older varieties for better turf quality darker green color improved shoot density improved traffic toler-ance and recuperative ability and increased disease and stress tolerances

Creeping bentgrasses are susceptible to a num-ber of pathogens and pests Dollar spot (caused by the fungus Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) is one of the main disease problems of close-cut creeping bentgrass However these grasses can also be susceptible to brown patch (Rhizoctonia solani) copper spot (Gloeocercospora sorghi) anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) and diseases caused by Pythium spp

Colonial bentgrass also referred to as browntop has traditionally been used as a lawn and golf course grass in areas of Northern Europe and New Zealand that have mild (cool and humid) summers Compared to creeping bentgrasses colonial bentgrasses have a finer leaf texture and a more upright and less ag-gressive spreading growth habit and are generally better adapted for fairway or tee use in the warmer summer climates of the United States Colonial bent-grasses perform best in New Jersey when mowed no lower than 38 of an inch They typically have a brighter green color and better color retention during cool weather compared to creeping bentgrasses Although colonial bentgrasses generally have better dollar spot resistance and wear tolerance they are much more susceptible than creeping bentgrasses to brown patch While not lethal the playability of golf courses may be affected if brown patch is not controlled on colonial bentgrass turfs Current breed-ing efforts include improving the tolerance of colonial bentgrasses to this disease

Velvet bentgrass forms the finest-textured and most dense turf of the bentgrasses and can nearly

resemble green velvet when managed properly It spreads mainly through profuse production of erect tillers with short stolons This grass can tolerate very close mowing heat cold and shade and is one of the most drought tolerant of the bentgrasses used for turf (Skogley 1973) Due to the density and vigor of this turf even under very low mowing conditions it has been shown to be extremely effective at pre-venting the encroachment of the most prolific weed on a golf course Poa annua The spread of velvet bentgrass via stolons is more aggressive than colonial bentgrass but not as strong as creeping bentgrass

Velvet bentgrass can form excessive thatch especially at high fertility rates increased irrigation and higher cutting heights and can thus become problematic if not maintained properly Years of mis-management and the subsequent poor turf quality has given velvet bentgrass a poor reputation but recent research showed that when managed properly velvet bentgrass can create a superior turf (Brilman and Meyer 2000)

Velvet bentgrass can be susceptible to red thread (caused by Laetisaria fuciformis) and copper spot but generally has good resistance to dollar spot and brown patch Seedlings of velvet bentgrasses are susceptible to Pythium seedling root rot during establishment

During colder weather velvet bentgrass will turn a dark purple color and will take longer than the other bentgrass species to ldquogreen-uprdquo in the spring Velvet bentgrass has not been used extensively for high maintenance turf largely because its range of adaptation has not been well characterized Selec-tions of velvet bentgrass have persisted for many years in trials under New Jersey growing conditions Recent research at Rutgers indicates that the species may one day serve as a viable alternative to creep-ing bentgrass for use on golf course greens in the northeastern United States as long as proper cultural management inputs are implemented Some of the major breeding objectives for velvet bentgrass include resistance to copper spot and Pythium diseases and better wear tolerance

The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station participates in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) which evaluates many species of turfgrass including bentgrasses at various locations throughout the United States The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program conducts extensive field evalua-tions of collections and new material developed in

the improvement program many of which are a re-sult of recent collection trips within the United States and throughout Europe and Asia Collections from the British Isles Norway Sweden Spain Portugal France Finland Switzerland Scotland Italy Greece Poland Holland Hungary Bulgaria Romania Croa-tia China and the Slovak Republic serve to enhance the genetic diversity of the germplasm used in this breeding program The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program focuses on improving turfgrasses for overall quality color density uniformity texture disease resistance salt tolerance traffic tolerance and many other aspects of a turf to be grown for a variety of purposes

PROCEDURES

Bentgrass evaluation trials were established at the Rutgers Horticultural Research Farm II in North Brunswick NJ in the fall of 2011 (Tables 1 and 2) 2012 (Tables 3 to 5) 2013 (Tables 6 to 8) and 2014 (Tables 9 to 13) Trials were established on a modified Nixon loam Plot size was 3 x 5 ft for all trials except for the NTEP Greens (Table 9) and NTEP Fairway (Table 10) trials where plot size was 4 x 6 ft and 8 x 6 ft respectively Plots were hand-seeded at a rate of approximately 10 lb per 1000 ft2 All tests were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications

All sites were well drained and openly exposed to both sunlight and air circulation The annual rate of nitrogen applied mowing height cultivationtopdress-ing practices and pesticide applications for each test are presented in Table 14 The putting green tests were mowed five to six times per week during periods of active growth with a triplex or walk-behind reel mower equipped to collect clippings The fair-way tests were mowed three times per week with a triplex reel mower and clippings were removed during periods of active growth Soil pH was maintained in the range of 54 to 68 with agricultural limestone All tests were irrigated to avoid drought stress

Plots were evaluated frequently during the grow-ing season for overall turf quality (ie turf density texture uniformity color growth habit and presence of disease and insect damage) Turf quality (Tables 1 to 13) establishment (Tables 9 to 13) spring green-up (Tables 9 and 10) and disease were rated on a 1 to 9 scale where 9 represented the most desirable turf characteristic Disease ratings included dollar spot (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) brown patch (Tables

2

5 6 8 10 and 13) copper spot (Tables 2 4 and 7) and root Pythium (Tables 11 and 12) All data were subjected to analysis of variance Means were separated using Fisherrsquos protected least significant difference (LSD) means separation test

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Turf Quality Evaluations

Entries in Tables 1 through 8 are ranked accord-ing to their overall multi-year quality average Tables 9 through 13 are ranked by the average turf quality for 2015 Throughout all of the years that turf qual-ity was assessed a few varieties in each bentgrass species stood out as better performing entries

For creeping bentgrasses maintained at a putting green height of cut (Tables 1 3 6 9 and 11) 777 L-93XD Piranha Barracuda Pure Distinction and the experimental selections CMC Comp PPG-AP 102 (BCD) PGF Comp EBC Comp PSD Comp PPS Comp UCE Comp GSM Comp 4759-781012 4738-7-12 and 4740-1-6 all performed very well while Penncross Southshore Putter Alpha Cren-shaw Penn G-2 and SR 1119 were consistently among the poorest performers At fairway height (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Piranha L-93XD Flagstick 777 and the experimental selections PPG-AP 102 (BC) 11-CMC Comp 11-EBC Comp DPG Comp UCE Comp PPS Comp PGF Comp and PPS Comp creeping bentgrasses had excellent turf quality while the lowest scoring cultivars consisted of Penncross Southshore Sandhill Imperial Crenshaw and SR 1119

Overall turf quality for velvet bentgrasses was evaluated in the 2011 to 2014 trials (Tables 2 4 7 and 12) under greens height of cut The variety Vitagreen and the experimental entries PPG-AC 101 PST-Syn-VH9 ESV Comp and CDS Comp were among the top performing velvet bentgrasses within all trials The cultivars SR 7200 Villa and Greenwich displayed poor quality under these greens-type management conditions

As mentioned previously colonial bentgrasses perform better at a fairway cutting height and typically have poorer performance under putting green condi-tions Nevertheless there were several experimental colonials in putting green trials (Tables 1 and 6) that exhibited acceptable turf quality at greens height including CED Comp CMD Comp FDC Comp CEM

Comp (Table 1) and PDC Comp (Table 6) Under fairway conditions however (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Puritan and the experimental selections PPG-AT 103 Musket AT 12-4 AT 12-9 AT 12-3 11-FDC Comp PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PDC Comp 8197-81012 SDR Comp DLFPS-AT3026 WLC Comp DML WMC Comp and WEC Comp were the best performing colonial bentgrasses while SR 7150 SR 7100 and Alister generally exhibited the poor-est performance under fairway cutting heights when included in trials

Dollar Spot

The causal agent of dollar spot S homoeo-carpa causes silver-dollar shaped spots of dead turf which can converge to form larger damaged areas (Belanger et al 2005) While potentially one of the more damaging turf diseases on golf courses in the northeast dollar spot can be easily controlled with the use of fungicides however this can be expensive due to the prevalence of the fungus Also becoming more prevalent is the pathogenrsquos resistance to fungicides particularly DMI fungicides (Smiley et al 2005) In addition increased fungicide use is not beneficial to the environment

Breeding for dollar spot resistance in bentgrass is an important objective of the Rutgers breeding program Typically velvet and colonial bentgrasses have better resistance to dollar spot than do creeping bentgrasses however the results from recent trials (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) indicate that significant improvements in creeping bentgrass have been made Cultivars such as Declaration Flagstick L-93XD Memorial and 13M as well as experimental entries 11-CMC Comp EBC Comp PPS Comp PGT Comp and DPG Comp all show a high resistance to this disease while Independence Ninety-Six Two Crenshaw Putter SR 1119 Penn A-4 and experi-mental entries including MCT Comp and MCC Comp were more susceptible Of note in the 2012 fairway trial (Table 5) significant differences between colo-nial bentgrass entries were observed Entries such as Capri and the experimental varieties PRE Comp PRE2 Comp and PPG-AT 103 performed comparably better than other colonials in that trial

Brown Patch

Velvet bentgrass typically exhibits the greatest tolerance to brown patch among the bentgrass spe-cies used for turf while colonial bentgrass is the most susceptible In recent years dramatic improvements

3

have been made in breeding colonial and creeping bentgrasses for improved brown patch resistance Brown patch data is reported in Tables 5 6 8 10 and 13 In 2015 creeping bentgrasses displayed acceptable tolerance to this disease exhibiting little significant separation between entries except in the 2013 putting green trial (Table 6) where while most creeping bentgrasses were rather tolerant of brown patch Putter and several experimental lines such as PST-0COL AST-1-12-3006A AST-1-12-3009A and AP 15 were more susceptible

Over the past few years significant research has focused on improving brown patch resistance in colonial bentgrass In recent fairway trials with as-sessable brown patch disease (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) gradual improvements in disease resistance is evident In trials evaluated in 2015 the cultivars Pu-ritan Capri Musket and the experimental selections PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PPG-AT 103 DTT Comp PDC Comp SDR Comp 8195-1-6 8197-1-6 8191-7-12 AT 12-16 WLC Comp DML and WMC Comp exhibited significantly improved brown patch resis-tance compared to entries such as SR 7150 Tiger 2 and several entries from New Zealand (PGGW-02 PGGW-03 PGGW-04 and G Egmont) It should be noted that under greens height of cut (Table 6) the experimental entries PDC Comp PSY Comp and DTO Comp performed as well as or better than several of the creeping bentgrass entries in the trial

Copper Spot

This disease is becoming an increasing concern in the Northeast during the summer due to the warm wet conditions when limited DMI fungicides are used The causal agent of this disease G sorghi is a fun-gus that produces 3- to 4-inch red-brown patches on the turf Currently one of the major drawbacks in the use of velvet bentgrass continues to be the high susceptibility of this species to infection by this fungus Therefore selection of velvet bentgrass for resistance to copper spot is a major goal of the Rut-gers Turfgrass Breeding Program

During the 2015 growing season copper spot disease was assessed on velvet bentgrass in the

2011 to 2013 trials (Tables 2 4 and 7) The cultivars Vitagreen and the experimental lines CS1 Comp ESV Comp SPV Comp DS2 Comp and CANH9-1412 stood out as highly tolerant entries when compared to older varieties such as Villa Greenwich and Leg-endary which were consistently poor

PERFORMANCE OF BENTGRASS CULTIVARS AND SELECTIONS IN NEW JERSEY TURF TRIALS

Eric N Weibel Tracy J Lawson Joseph B Clark James A Murphy Bruce B Clarke William A Meyer and Stacy A Bonos1

Bentgrass species possess a distinct ability to form very dense uniform and fine textured surfaces under an extremely low height of cut As a result bentgrasses are often used in specialized high main-tenance areas such as golf course fairways tees and putting greens There are three bentgrass species predominantly used for turf creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds synonym = A stolonifera L) colonial bentgrass (A tenuis L or A capillaris L) and velvet bentgrass (A canina L) In addition highland or dryland bentgrasses (A castellana Boiss amp Reut) can be options for turf in stressful areas but these tend to be less commonly utilized because they are less attractive than the more common species when a high quality turf is needed Due to an ag-gressive growth habit and adaptability to a variety of climates creeping and velvet bentgrasses are most suitable for the very low cutting heights required for golf course greens in the United States Colonial bentgrasses respond best to a slightly higher height of cut therefore these are usually better suited for fairways in temperate areas of the United States

Creeping bentgrasses are highly stoloniferous and have a prostrate growth habit which allows for persistence under very low mowing heights Cut-ting heights of 110 of an inch are not uncommon on many top tier golf courses This species is highly adapted to both cool temperate as well as warm humid regions of the United States making it the most popular species used on golf course putting greens in temperate areas Its vigorous spreading growth habit also contributes to its ability to repair damaged areas quickly In 1954 H B Musser re-leased lsquoPenncrossrsquo the first seeded synthetic variety of creeping bentgrass (Musser 1959) Since then breeding efforts have markedly improved creeping bentgrasses to withstand the increasing demands of the game of golf including the need when compared

to older varieties for better turf quality darker green color improved shoot density improved traffic toler-ance and recuperative ability and increased disease and stress tolerances

Creeping bentgrasses are susceptible to a num-ber of pathogens and pests Dollar spot (caused by the fungus Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) is one of the main disease problems of close-cut creeping bentgrass However these grasses can also be susceptible to brown patch (Rhizoctonia solani) copper spot (Gloeocercospora sorghi) anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) and diseases caused by Pythium spp

Colonial bentgrass also referred to as browntop has traditionally been used as a lawn and golf course grass in areas of Northern Europe and New Zealand that have mild (cool and humid) summers Compared to creeping bentgrasses colonial bentgrasses have a finer leaf texture and a more upright and less ag-gressive spreading growth habit and are generally better adapted for fairway or tee use in the warmer summer climates of the United States Colonial bent-grasses perform best in New Jersey when mowed no lower than 38 of an inch They typically have a brighter green color and better color retention during cool weather compared to creeping bentgrasses Although colonial bentgrasses generally have better dollar spot resistance and wear tolerance they are much more susceptible than creeping bentgrasses to brown patch While not lethal the playability of golf courses may be affected if brown patch is not controlled on colonial bentgrass turfs Current breed-ing efforts include improving the tolerance of colonial bentgrasses to this disease

Velvet bentgrass forms the finest-textured and most dense turf of the bentgrasses and can nearly

resemble green velvet when managed properly It spreads mainly through profuse production of erect tillers with short stolons This grass can tolerate very close mowing heat cold and shade and is one of the most drought tolerant of the bentgrasses used for turf (Skogley 1973) Due to the density and vigor of this turf even under very low mowing conditions it has been shown to be extremely effective at pre-venting the encroachment of the most prolific weed on a golf course Poa annua The spread of velvet bentgrass via stolons is more aggressive than colonial bentgrass but not as strong as creeping bentgrass

Velvet bentgrass can form excessive thatch especially at high fertility rates increased irrigation and higher cutting heights and can thus become problematic if not maintained properly Years of mis-management and the subsequent poor turf quality has given velvet bentgrass a poor reputation but recent research showed that when managed properly velvet bentgrass can create a superior turf (Brilman and Meyer 2000)

Velvet bentgrass can be susceptible to red thread (caused by Laetisaria fuciformis) and copper spot but generally has good resistance to dollar spot and brown patch Seedlings of velvet bentgrasses are susceptible to Pythium seedling root rot during establishment

During colder weather velvet bentgrass will turn a dark purple color and will take longer than the other bentgrass species to ldquogreen-uprdquo in the spring Velvet bentgrass has not been used extensively for high maintenance turf largely because its range of adaptation has not been well characterized Selec-tions of velvet bentgrass have persisted for many years in trials under New Jersey growing conditions Recent research at Rutgers indicates that the species may one day serve as a viable alternative to creep-ing bentgrass for use on golf course greens in the northeastern United States as long as proper cultural management inputs are implemented Some of the major breeding objectives for velvet bentgrass include resistance to copper spot and Pythium diseases and better wear tolerance

The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station participates in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) which evaluates many species of turfgrass including bentgrasses at various locations throughout the United States The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program conducts extensive field evalua-tions of collections and new material developed in

the improvement program many of which are a re-sult of recent collection trips within the United States and throughout Europe and Asia Collections from the British Isles Norway Sweden Spain Portugal France Finland Switzerland Scotland Italy Greece Poland Holland Hungary Bulgaria Romania Croa-tia China and the Slovak Republic serve to enhance the genetic diversity of the germplasm used in this breeding program The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program focuses on improving turfgrasses for overall quality color density uniformity texture disease resistance salt tolerance traffic tolerance and many other aspects of a turf to be grown for a variety of purposes

PROCEDURES

Bentgrass evaluation trials were established at the Rutgers Horticultural Research Farm II in North Brunswick NJ in the fall of 2011 (Tables 1 and 2) 2012 (Tables 3 to 5) 2013 (Tables 6 to 8) and 2014 (Tables 9 to 13) Trials were established on a modified Nixon loam Plot size was 3 x 5 ft for all trials except for the NTEP Greens (Table 9) and NTEP Fairway (Table 10) trials where plot size was 4 x 6 ft and 8 x 6 ft respectively Plots were hand-seeded at a rate of approximately 10 lb per 1000 ft2 All tests were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications

All sites were well drained and openly exposed to both sunlight and air circulation The annual rate of nitrogen applied mowing height cultivationtopdress-ing practices and pesticide applications for each test are presented in Table 14 The putting green tests were mowed five to six times per week during periods of active growth with a triplex or walk-behind reel mower equipped to collect clippings The fair-way tests were mowed three times per week with a triplex reel mower and clippings were removed during periods of active growth Soil pH was maintained in the range of 54 to 68 with agricultural limestone All tests were irrigated to avoid drought stress

Plots were evaluated frequently during the grow-ing season for overall turf quality (ie turf density texture uniformity color growth habit and presence of disease and insect damage) Turf quality (Tables 1 to 13) establishment (Tables 9 to 13) spring green-up (Tables 9 and 10) and disease were rated on a 1 to 9 scale where 9 represented the most desirable turf characteristic Disease ratings included dollar spot (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) brown patch (Tables

2

5 6 8 10 and 13) copper spot (Tables 2 4 and 7) and root Pythium (Tables 11 and 12) All data were subjected to analysis of variance Means were separated using Fisherrsquos protected least significant difference (LSD) means separation test

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Turf Quality Evaluations

Entries in Tables 1 through 8 are ranked accord-ing to their overall multi-year quality average Tables 9 through 13 are ranked by the average turf quality for 2015 Throughout all of the years that turf qual-ity was assessed a few varieties in each bentgrass species stood out as better performing entries

For creeping bentgrasses maintained at a putting green height of cut (Tables 1 3 6 9 and 11) 777 L-93XD Piranha Barracuda Pure Distinction and the experimental selections CMC Comp PPG-AP 102 (BCD) PGF Comp EBC Comp PSD Comp PPS Comp UCE Comp GSM Comp 4759-781012 4738-7-12 and 4740-1-6 all performed very well while Penncross Southshore Putter Alpha Cren-shaw Penn G-2 and SR 1119 were consistently among the poorest performers At fairway height (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Piranha L-93XD Flagstick 777 and the experimental selections PPG-AP 102 (BC) 11-CMC Comp 11-EBC Comp DPG Comp UCE Comp PPS Comp PGF Comp and PPS Comp creeping bentgrasses had excellent turf quality while the lowest scoring cultivars consisted of Penncross Southshore Sandhill Imperial Crenshaw and SR 1119

Overall turf quality for velvet bentgrasses was evaluated in the 2011 to 2014 trials (Tables 2 4 7 and 12) under greens height of cut The variety Vitagreen and the experimental entries PPG-AC 101 PST-Syn-VH9 ESV Comp and CDS Comp were among the top performing velvet bentgrasses within all trials The cultivars SR 7200 Villa and Greenwich displayed poor quality under these greens-type management conditions

As mentioned previously colonial bentgrasses perform better at a fairway cutting height and typically have poorer performance under putting green condi-tions Nevertheless there were several experimental colonials in putting green trials (Tables 1 and 6) that exhibited acceptable turf quality at greens height including CED Comp CMD Comp FDC Comp CEM

Comp (Table 1) and PDC Comp (Table 6) Under fairway conditions however (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Puritan and the experimental selections PPG-AT 103 Musket AT 12-4 AT 12-9 AT 12-3 11-FDC Comp PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PDC Comp 8197-81012 SDR Comp DLFPS-AT3026 WLC Comp DML WMC Comp and WEC Comp were the best performing colonial bentgrasses while SR 7150 SR 7100 and Alister generally exhibited the poor-est performance under fairway cutting heights when included in trials

Dollar Spot

The causal agent of dollar spot S homoeo-carpa causes silver-dollar shaped spots of dead turf which can converge to form larger damaged areas (Belanger et al 2005) While potentially one of the more damaging turf diseases on golf courses in the northeast dollar spot can be easily controlled with the use of fungicides however this can be expensive due to the prevalence of the fungus Also becoming more prevalent is the pathogenrsquos resistance to fungicides particularly DMI fungicides (Smiley et al 2005) In addition increased fungicide use is not beneficial to the environment

Breeding for dollar spot resistance in bentgrass is an important objective of the Rutgers breeding program Typically velvet and colonial bentgrasses have better resistance to dollar spot than do creeping bentgrasses however the results from recent trials (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) indicate that significant improvements in creeping bentgrass have been made Cultivars such as Declaration Flagstick L-93XD Memorial and 13M as well as experimental entries 11-CMC Comp EBC Comp PPS Comp PGT Comp and DPG Comp all show a high resistance to this disease while Independence Ninety-Six Two Crenshaw Putter SR 1119 Penn A-4 and experi-mental entries including MCT Comp and MCC Comp were more susceptible Of note in the 2012 fairway trial (Table 5) significant differences between colo-nial bentgrass entries were observed Entries such as Capri and the experimental varieties PRE Comp PRE2 Comp and PPG-AT 103 performed comparably better than other colonials in that trial

Brown Patch

Velvet bentgrass typically exhibits the greatest tolerance to brown patch among the bentgrass spe-cies used for turf while colonial bentgrass is the most susceptible In recent years dramatic improvements

3

have been made in breeding colonial and creeping bentgrasses for improved brown patch resistance Brown patch data is reported in Tables 5 6 8 10 and 13 In 2015 creeping bentgrasses displayed acceptable tolerance to this disease exhibiting little significant separation between entries except in the 2013 putting green trial (Table 6) where while most creeping bentgrasses were rather tolerant of brown patch Putter and several experimental lines such as PST-0COL AST-1-12-3006A AST-1-12-3009A and AP 15 were more susceptible

Over the past few years significant research has focused on improving brown patch resistance in colonial bentgrass In recent fairway trials with as-sessable brown patch disease (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) gradual improvements in disease resistance is evident In trials evaluated in 2015 the cultivars Pu-ritan Capri Musket and the experimental selections PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PPG-AT 103 DTT Comp PDC Comp SDR Comp 8195-1-6 8197-1-6 8191-7-12 AT 12-16 WLC Comp DML and WMC Comp exhibited significantly improved brown patch resis-tance compared to entries such as SR 7150 Tiger 2 and several entries from New Zealand (PGGW-02 PGGW-03 PGGW-04 and G Egmont) It should be noted that under greens height of cut (Table 6) the experimental entries PDC Comp PSY Comp and DTO Comp performed as well as or better than several of the creeping bentgrass entries in the trial

Copper Spot

This disease is becoming an increasing concern in the Northeast during the summer due to the warm wet conditions when limited DMI fungicides are used The causal agent of this disease G sorghi is a fun-gus that produces 3- to 4-inch red-brown patches on the turf Currently one of the major drawbacks in the use of velvet bentgrass continues to be the high susceptibility of this species to infection by this fungus Therefore selection of velvet bentgrass for resistance to copper spot is a major goal of the Rut-gers Turfgrass Breeding Program

During the 2015 growing season copper spot disease was assessed on velvet bentgrass in the

2011 to 2013 trials (Tables 2 4 and 7) The cultivars Vitagreen and the experimental lines CS1 Comp ESV Comp SPV Comp DS2 Comp and CANH9-1412 stood out as highly tolerant entries when compared to older varieties such as Villa Greenwich and Leg-endary which were consistently poor

resemble green velvet when managed properly It spreads mainly through profuse production of erect tillers with short stolons This grass can tolerate very close mowing heat cold and shade and is one of the most drought tolerant of the bentgrasses used for turf (Skogley 1973) Due to the density and vigor of this turf even under very low mowing conditions it has been shown to be extremely effective at pre-venting the encroachment of the most prolific weed on a golf course Poa annua The spread of velvet bentgrass via stolons is more aggressive than colonial bentgrass but not as strong as creeping bentgrass

Velvet bentgrass can form excessive thatch especially at high fertility rates increased irrigation and higher cutting heights and can thus become problematic if not maintained properly Years of mis-management and the subsequent poor turf quality has given velvet bentgrass a poor reputation but recent research showed that when managed properly velvet bentgrass can create a superior turf (Brilman and Meyer 2000)

Velvet bentgrass can be susceptible to red thread (caused by Laetisaria fuciformis) and copper spot but generally has good resistance to dollar spot and brown patch Seedlings of velvet bentgrasses are susceptible to Pythium seedling root rot during establishment

During colder weather velvet bentgrass will turn a dark purple color and will take longer than the other bentgrass species to ldquogreen-uprdquo in the spring Velvet bentgrass has not been used extensively for high maintenance turf largely because its range of adaptation has not been well characterized Selec-tions of velvet bentgrass have persisted for many years in trials under New Jersey growing conditions Recent research at Rutgers indicates that the species may one day serve as a viable alternative to creep-ing bentgrass for use on golf course greens in the northeastern United States as long as proper cultural management inputs are implemented Some of the major breeding objectives for velvet bentgrass include resistance to copper spot and Pythium diseases and better wear tolerance

The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station participates in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) which evaluates many species of turfgrass including bentgrasses at various locations throughout the United States The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program conducts extensive field evalua-tions of collections and new material developed in

the improvement program many of which are a re-sult of recent collection trips within the United States and throughout Europe and Asia Collections from the British Isles Norway Sweden Spain Portugal France Finland Switzerland Scotland Italy Greece Poland Holland Hungary Bulgaria Romania Croa-tia China and the Slovak Republic serve to enhance the genetic diversity of the germplasm used in this breeding program The Rutgers turfgrass breeding program focuses on improving turfgrasses for overall quality color density uniformity texture disease resistance salt tolerance traffic tolerance and many other aspects of a turf to be grown for a variety of purposes

PROCEDURES

Bentgrass evaluation trials were established at the Rutgers Horticultural Research Farm II in North Brunswick NJ in the fall of 2011 (Tables 1 and 2) 2012 (Tables 3 to 5) 2013 (Tables 6 to 8) and 2014 (Tables 9 to 13) Trials were established on a modified Nixon loam Plot size was 3 x 5 ft for all trials except for the NTEP Greens (Table 9) and NTEP Fairway (Table 10) trials where plot size was 4 x 6 ft and 8 x 6 ft respectively Plots were hand-seeded at a rate of approximately 10 lb per 1000 ft2 All tests were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications

All sites were well drained and openly exposed to both sunlight and air circulation The annual rate of nitrogen applied mowing height cultivationtopdress-ing practices and pesticide applications for each test are presented in Table 14 The putting green tests were mowed five to six times per week during periods of active growth with a triplex or walk-behind reel mower equipped to collect clippings The fair-way tests were mowed three times per week with a triplex reel mower and clippings were removed during periods of active growth Soil pH was maintained in the range of 54 to 68 with agricultural limestone All tests were irrigated to avoid drought stress

Plots were evaluated frequently during the grow-ing season for overall turf quality (ie turf density texture uniformity color growth habit and presence of disease and insect damage) Turf quality (Tables 1 to 13) establishment (Tables 9 to 13) spring green-up (Tables 9 and 10) and disease were rated on a 1 to 9 scale where 9 represented the most desirable turf characteristic Disease ratings included dollar spot (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) brown patch (Tables

2

5 6 8 10 and 13) copper spot (Tables 2 4 and 7) and root Pythium (Tables 11 and 12) All data were subjected to analysis of variance Means were separated using Fisherrsquos protected least significant difference (LSD) means separation test

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Turf Quality Evaluations

Entries in Tables 1 through 8 are ranked accord-ing to their overall multi-year quality average Tables 9 through 13 are ranked by the average turf quality for 2015 Throughout all of the years that turf qual-ity was assessed a few varieties in each bentgrass species stood out as better performing entries

For creeping bentgrasses maintained at a putting green height of cut (Tables 1 3 6 9 and 11) 777 L-93XD Piranha Barracuda Pure Distinction and the experimental selections CMC Comp PPG-AP 102 (BCD) PGF Comp EBC Comp PSD Comp PPS Comp UCE Comp GSM Comp 4759-781012 4738-7-12 and 4740-1-6 all performed very well while Penncross Southshore Putter Alpha Cren-shaw Penn G-2 and SR 1119 were consistently among the poorest performers At fairway height (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Piranha L-93XD Flagstick 777 and the experimental selections PPG-AP 102 (BC) 11-CMC Comp 11-EBC Comp DPG Comp UCE Comp PPS Comp PGF Comp and PPS Comp creeping bentgrasses had excellent turf quality while the lowest scoring cultivars consisted of Penncross Southshore Sandhill Imperial Crenshaw and SR 1119

Overall turf quality for velvet bentgrasses was evaluated in the 2011 to 2014 trials (Tables 2 4 7 and 12) under greens height of cut The variety Vitagreen and the experimental entries PPG-AC 101 PST-Syn-VH9 ESV Comp and CDS Comp were among the top performing velvet bentgrasses within all trials The cultivars SR 7200 Villa and Greenwich displayed poor quality under these greens-type management conditions

As mentioned previously colonial bentgrasses perform better at a fairway cutting height and typically have poorer performance under putting green condi-tions Nevertheless there were several experimental colonials in putting green trials (Tables 1 and 6) that exhibited acceptable turf quality at greens height including CED Comp CMD Comp FDC Comp CEM

Comp (Table 1) and PDC Comp (Table 6) Under fairway conditions however (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Puritan and the experimental selections PPG-AT 103 Musket AT 12-4 AT 12-9 AT 12-3 11-FDC Comp PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PDC Comp 8197-81012 SDR Comp DLFPS-AT3026 WLC Comp DML WMC Comp and WEC Comp were the best performing colonial bentgrasses while SR 7150 SR 7100 and Alister generally exhibited the poor-est performance under fairway cutting heights when included in trials

Dollar Spot

The causal agent of dollar spot S homoeo-carpa causes silver-dollar shaped spots of dead turf which can converge to form larger damaged areas (Belanger et al 2005) While potentially one of the more damaging turf diseases on golf courses in the northeast dollar spot can be easily controlled with the use of fungicides however this can be expensive due to the prevalence of the fungus Also becoming more prevalent is the pathogenrsquos resistance to fungicides particularly DMI fungicides (Smiley et al 2005) In addition increased fungicide use is not beneficial to the environment

Breeding for dollar spot resistance in bentgrass is an important objective of the Rutgers breeding program Typically velvet and colonial bentgrasses have better resistance to dollar spot than do creeping bentgrasses however the results from recent trials (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) indicate that significant improvements in creeping bentgrass have been made Cultivars such as Declaration Flagstick L-93XD Memorial and 13M as well as experimental entries 11-CMC Comp EBC Comp PPS Comp PGT Comp and DPG Comp all show a high resistance to this disease while Independence Ninety-Six Two Crenshaw Putter SR 1119 Penn A-4 and experi-mental entries including MCT Comp and MCC Comp were more susceptible Of note in the 2012 fairway trial (Table 5) significant differences between colo-nial bentgrass entries were observed Entries such as Capri and the experimental varieties PRE Comp PRE2 Comp and PPG-AT 103 performed comparably better than other colonials in that trial

Brown Patch

Velvet bentgrass typically exhibits the greatest tolerance to brown patch among the bentgrass spe-cies used for turf while colonial bentgrass is the most susceptible In recent years dramatic improvements

3

have been made in breeding colonial and creeping bentgrasses for improved brown patch resistance Brown patch data is reported in Tables 5 6 8 10 and 13 In 2015 creeping bentgrasses displayed acceptable tolerance to this disease exhibiting little significant separation between entries except in the 2013 putting green trial (Table 6) where while most creeping bentgrasses were rather tolerant of brown patch Putter and several experimental lines such as PST-0COL AST-1-12-3006A AST-1-12-3009A and AP 15 were more susceptible

Over the past few years significant research has focused on improving brown patch resistance in colonial bentgrass In recent fairway trials with as-sessable brown patch disease (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) gradual improvements in disease resistance is evident In trials evaluated in 2015 the cultivars Pu-ritan Capri Musket and the experimental selections PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PPG-AT 103 DTT Comp PDC Comp SDR Comp 8195-1-6 8197-1-6 8191-7-12 AT 12-16 WLC Comp DML and WMC Comp exhibited significantly improved brown patch resis-tance compared to entries such as SR 7150 Tiger 2 and several entries from New Zealand (PGGW-02 PGGW-03 PGGW-04 and G Egmont) It should be noted that under greens height of cut (Table 6) the experimental entries PDC Comp PSY Comp and DTO Comp performed as well as or better than several of the creeping bentgrass entries in the trial

Copper Spot

This disease is becoming an increasing concern in the Northeast during the summer due to the warm wet conditions when limited DMI fungicides are used The causal agent of this disease G sorghi is a fun-gus that produces 3- to 4-inch red-brown patches on the turf Currently one of the major drawbacks in the use of velvet bentgrass continues to be the high susceptibility of this species to infection by this fungus Therefore selection of velvet bentgrass for resistance to copper spot is a major goal of the Rut-gers Turfgrass Breeding Program

During the 2015 growing season copper spot disease was assessed on velvet bentgrass in the

2011 to 2013 trials (Tables 2 4 and 7) The cultivars Vitagreen and the experimental lines CS1 Comp ESV Comp SPV Comp DS2 Comp and CANH9-1412 stood out as highly tolerant entries when compared to older varieties such as Villa Greenwich and Leg-endary which were consistently poor

5 6 8 10 and 13) copper spot (Tables 2 4 and 7) and root Pythium (Tables 11 and 12) All data were subjected to analysis of variance Means were separated using Fisherrsquos protected least significant difference (LSD) means separation test

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Turf Quality Evaluations

Entries in Tables 1 through 8 are ranked accord-ing to their overall multi-year quality average Tables 9 through 13 are ranked by the average turf quality for 2015 Throughout all of the years that turf qual-ity was assessed a few varieties in each bentgrass species stood out as better performing entries

For creeping bentgrasses maintained at a putting green height of cut (Tables 1 3 6 9 and 11) 777 L-93XD Piranha Barracuda Pure Distinction and the experimental selections CMC Comp PPG-AP 102 (BCD) PGF Comp EBC Comp PSD Comp PPS Comp UCE Comp GSM Comp 4759-781012 4738-7-12 and 4740-1-6 all performed very well while Penncross Southshore Putter Alpha Cren-shaw Penn G-2 and SR 1119 were consistently among the poorest performers At fairway height (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Piranha L-93XD Flagstick 777 and the experimental selections PPG-AP 102 (BC) 11-CMC Comp 11-EBC Comp DPG Comp UCE Comp PPS Comp PGF Comp and PPS Comp creeping bentgrasses had excellent turf quality while the lowest scoring cultivars consisted of Penncross Southshore Sandhill Imperial Crenshaw and SR 1119

Overall turf quality for velvet bentgrasses was evaluated in the 2011 to 2014 trials (Tables 2 4 7 and 12) under greens height of cut The variety Vitagreen and the experimental entries PPG-AC 101 PST-Syn-VH9 ESV Comp and CDS Comp were among the top performing velvet bentgrasses within all trials The cultivars SR 7200 Villa and Greenwich displayed poor quality under these greens-type management conditions

As mentioned previously colonial bentgrasses perform better at a fairway cutting height and typically have poorer performance under putting green condi-tions Nevertheless there were several experimental colonials in putting green trials (Tables 1 and 6) that exhibited acceptable turf quality at greens height including CED Comp CMD Comp FDC Comp CEM

Comp (Table 1) and PDC Comp (Table 6) Under fairway conditions however (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) Puritan and the experimental selections PPG-AT 103 Musket AT 12-4 AT 12-9 AT 12-3 11-FDC Comp PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PDC Comp 8197-81012 SDR Comp DLFPS-AT3026 WLC Comp DML WMC Comp and WEC Comp were the best performing colonial bentgrasses while SR 7150 SR 7100 and Alister generally exhibited the poor-est performance under fairway cutting heights when included in trials

Dollar Spot

The causal agent of dollar spot S homoeo-carpa causes silver-dollar shaped spots of dead turf which can converge to form larger damaged areas (Belanger et al 2005) While potentially one of the more damaging turf diseases on golf courses in the northeast dollar spot can be easily controlled with the use of fungicides however this can be expensive due to the prevalence of the fungus Also becoming more prevalent is the pathogenrsquos resistance to fungicides particularly DMI fungicides (Smiley et al 2005) In addition increased fungicide use is not beneficial to the environment

Breeding for dollar spot resistance in bentgrass is an important objective of the Rutgers breeding program Typically velvet and colonial bentgrasses have better resistance to dollar spot than do creeping bentgrasses however the results from recent trials (Tables 1 3 5 6 8 10 to 13) indicate that significant improvements in creeping bentgrass have been made Cultivars such as Declaration Flagstick L-93XD Memorial and 13M as well as experimental entries 11-CMC Comp EBC Comp PPS Comp PGT Comp and DPG Comp all show a high resistance to this disease while Independence Ninety-Six Two Crenshaw Putter SR 1119 Penn A-4 and experi-mental entries including MCT Comp and MCC Comp were more susceptible Of note in the 2012 fairway trial (Table 5) significant differences between colo-nial bentgrass entries were observed Entries such as Capri and the experimental varieties PRE Comp PRE2 Comp and PPG-AT 103 performed comparably better than other colonials in that trial

Brown Patch

Velvet bentgrass typically exhibits the greatest tolerance to brown patch among the bentgrass spe-cies used for turf while colonial bentgrass is the most susceptible In recent years dramatic improvements

have been made in breeding colonial and creeping bentgrasses for improved brown patch resistance Brown patch data is reported in Tables 5 6 8 10 and 13 In 2015 creeping bentgrasses displayed acceptable tolerance to this disease exhibiting little significant separation between entries except in the 2013 putting green trial (Table 6) where while most creeping bentgrasses were rather tolerant of brown patch Putter and several experimental lines such as PST-0COL AST-1-12-3006A AST-1-12-3009A and AP 15 were more susceptible

Over the past few years significant research has focused on improving brown patch resistance in colonial bentgrass In recent fairway trials with as-sessable brown patch disease (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) gradual improvements in disease resistance is evident In trials evaluated in 2015 the cultivars Pu-ritan Capri Musket and the experimental selections PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PPG-AT 103 DTT Comp PDC Comp SDR Comp 8195-1-6 8197-1-6 8191-7-12 AT 12-16 WLC Comp DML and WMC Comp exhibited significantly improved brown patch resis-tance compared to entries such as SR 7150 Tiger 2 and several entries from New Zealand (PGGW-02 PGGW-03 PGGW-04 and G Egmont) It should be noted that under greens height of cut (Table 6) the experimental entries PDC Comp PSY Comp and DTO Comp performed as well as or better than several of the creeping bentgrass entries in the trial

Copper Spot

This disease is becoming an increasing concern in the Northeast during the summer due to the warm wet conditions when limited DMI fungicides are used The causal agent of this disease G sorghi is a fun-gus that produces 3- to 4-inch red-brown patches on the turf Currently one of the major drawbacks in the use of velvet bentgrass continues to be the high susceptibility of this species to infection by this fungus Therefore selection of velvet bentgrass for resistance to copper spot is a major goal of the Rut-gers Turfgrass Breeding Program

During the 2015 growing season copper spot disease was assessed on velvet bentgrass in the

2011 to 2013 trials (Tables 2 4 and 7) The cultivars Vitagreen and the experimental lines CS1 Comp ESV Comp SPV Comp DS2 Comp and CANH9-1412 stood out as highly tolerant entries when compared to older varieties such as Villa Greenwich and Leg-endary which were consistently poor

have been made in breeding colonial and creeping bentgrasses for improved brown patch resistance Brown patch data is reported in Tables 5 6 8 10 and 13 In 2015 creeping bentgrasses displayed acceptable tolerance to this disease exhibiting little significant separation between entries except in the 2013 putting green trial (Table 6) where while most creeping bentgrasses were rather tolerant of brown patch Putter and several experimental lines such as PST-0COL AST-1-12-3006A AST-1-12-3009A and AP 15 were more susceptible

Over the past few years significant research has focused on improving brown patch resistance in colonial bentgrass In recent fairway trials with as-sessable brown patch disease (Tables 5 8 10 and 13) gradual improvements in disease resistance is evident In trials evaluated in 2015 the cultivars Pu-ritan Capri Musket and the experimental selections PRE Comp PRE2 Comp PPG-AT 103 DTT Comp PDC Comp SDR Comp 8195-1-6 8197-1-6 8191-7-12 AT 12-16 WLC Comp DML and WMC Comp exhibited significantly improved brown patch resis-tance compared to entries such as SR 7150 Tiger 2 and several entries from New Zealand (PGGW-02 PGGW-03 PGGW-04 and G Egmont) It should be noted that under greens height of cut (Table 6) the experimental entries PDC Comp PSY Comp and DTO Comp performed as well as or better than several of the creeping bentgrass entries in the trial

Copper Spot

This disease is becoming an increasing concern in the Northeast during the summer due to the warm wet conditions when limited DMI fungicides are used The causal agent of this disease G sorghi is a fun-gus that produces 3- to 4-inch red-brown patches on the turf Currently one of the major drawbacks in the use of velvet bentgrass continues to be the high susceptibility of this species to infection by this fungus Therefore selection of velvet bentgrass for resistance to copper spot is a major goal of the Rut-gers Turfgrass Breeding Program

During the 2015 growing season copper spot disease was assessed on velvet bentgrass in the

2011 to 2013 trials (Tables 2 4 and 7) The cultivars Vitagreen and the experimental lines CS1 Comp ESV Comp SPV Comp DS2 Comp and CANH9-1412 stood out as highly tolerant entries when compared to older varieties such as Villa Greenwich and Leg-endary which were consistently poor
