Today, we have started spraying the Monument on the fairways, tees and surround of the greens. The chemical Monument is use not only as a purple nutsedge removal and control but also is used as a transitional tool by killing the ryegrass thus allowing the bermudagrass to fill in and making it healthier for the summer months. In addition, bermudagrass requires 100 days of growth to aid in the establishment of a healthy base for overseeding.
Speaking of transition this is the second year that the month of May has been quite cooler than normal. Sadly, these lower temperatures impede the success of a smooth transition by not encouraging the growth of the bermudagrass. The good news is that warmer temperatures are on the horizon.
