What is Bentgrass?

Bentgrass, also known as the family Agrostis , includes approximately 125 different types of grass. The name aptly contains the word "bent" because it has a shallow root structure that bends just below the surface of the Earth. Some species are considered weeds, while other varieties are used to feed animals and as a lawn. It is most often used as a lawn for golf course, golf, tees and fairways, but it can also be used for home lawns and sports fields. It is originally from Europe and Asia, but also grows well in cold, wet climate in the United States and Canada.

There are several advantages of using Bentgrass as a lawn, golf course or athletic field. For example, it can be cut very short and still thrive. He is also able to withstand a large volume of operation, both from people who walk on foot and from golf trolleys or other wheels. Although shortened, it is dense and creates a network green ground coverage. Can also be combined with other oLower grass, such as Bermuda grass to make a more elegant effect.

Many different types of Bentgrass are commonly found in a cold, humid climate. The creeping bentgrass or Agrostis stolonifera is used almost exclusively on green, tees and navigation pathways of golf courses, but it can be considered a weed that is difficult to reduce if it grows in an area where it is not. Velvet Bentgrass or Agrostis canina , as well as its name, has a fine velvety texture. Many large lawns in Europe use velvet bentgrass, because it can easily be obstructive relatively short, but it requires that some maintenance survives. It has a lighter color than many other species.

Some varieties can be shortened for certain places, such as golf course, such as golf course, while other varieties can be left uncross and can grow quite high. For example Spike BentgRass or Agrostis Exarata grows to 8 inches (20.3 cm) tall and is rough to the touch. It is usually used to restore Prairielands and flooded areas. This is also commonly used to restore ditches and Timberland, which were burned or recorded. Sometimes it is also used to feed livestock.

While Bentgrass is able to grow in warm climate to survive, must be well maintained. It is also prone to certain mushrooms and molds. It is easy to grow from the seed, and when it is influenced by disease, the areas can be successfully restored.
