Bentgrass
Description
A cool season grass used almost exclusively on golf course putting greens and fairways, creeping bentgrass is characterized by persistence under extremely low cutting heights and very dense, uniform, stoloniferous growth and rapid recuperation. It requires high input maintenance and expert management to cope with resulting diseases.
Bentgrass is adapted to a wide range of climates yet is susceptible to many diseases, due to the stress levels under which it performs.
