Greenkeeping Research | Nature

ABSTRACT THE Board of Greenkeeping Research has recently issued its Report for 1933. Most of the Board's activities are centred round its Research Station at St. Ives, Bingley, Yorks,

where experiments on the qualities of various lawn grasses are in progress. During 1933, plots of Poa annua, Agrostis and Festuca rubra have received special investigation in order to

determine their suitability for golf green purposes. Manurial experiments have been correlated with yield data. Various compounds are being tried as worm eradicators, whilst the success of

the St. Ives leather jacket exterminator (a standardised emulsion of Jeye's fluid and orthodichlorobenzene) must be very gratifying to its originators. The establishment of greens by

means of vegetative propagation is receiving considerable attention, and the aeration of turf is a subject for further experiment. Advisory work is growing, and the financial statement shows

a small surplus. Attention is directed to the Journal of the Board, which is published twice a year and may be obtained from the Station. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe
