Research
Golf courses that are established with creeping bentgrass are often quickly invaded by annual bluegrass and other turfgrass species. Interseeding and non-selective herbicides, like glyphosate, have often been used to increase creeping bentgrass on golf course fairways. The objective of this research was to determine the most effective glyphosate rate and application timing necessary to quickly increase creeping bentgrass populations through interseeding into predominantly annual bluegrass fairways, while keeping the golf course open for play.
