Abstract:
Rough bluegrass (Poa trivialis L.), also
known as roughstalk bluegrass, is commonly
used in the southern United States to overseed
golf course greens, fairways, and landscape
areas in the winter. Warm-season grasses go
dormant and turn brown during the cool season,
and rough bluegrass generally is mixed with
ryegrass to maintain a lush, green color through
the winter. As temperatures rise in the spring, the
rough bluegrass mix dies, and the warm-season
grasses come out of dormancy and become
green again.
