The photographs were taken under cloudless conditions the
afternoon of 13 July, using a 35-mm lens, with Kodachrome 64 film, F-stop=11 and 1/125th
of second. Transparencies were scanned to 4-MB TIFF files with a Polaroid Scanner,
and the digital images opened in Adobe PhotoShop, tilted to parallel, brightness-adjusted
+35 units, contrast adjusted to +30 units, uniformly cropped, and sized to 380 pixels
width, and black plot borders added. PhotoShop files were optimized with Ulead
SmartSaver to JPEG quality level 60, no smoothing. |

Originating at Wilderness Country Club in Collier County,
Florida, PF-11 was discovered by Superintendent Paul Frank growing in a 328 (Tifgreen)
green. He propagated on numerous greens. It appears to have been
developed commercially. These four replicated plots were planted at University of
Florida - Fort Lauderdale in May 1994. Throughout most of their evaluation they were
mowed at 1/8 inch. Plots were aerified the week of 21 June 1999 and were treated
with excess rates of herbicides 29 June 1999 and again 7July 1999, thus the cumulative
rates were actually 2X, 4X, 6X, 8X, and 10X. Mowing was suspended as soon as
treatments began.
Overall PF-11 bermudagrass performed: Excellent (8.7)
This is the best performing of the Ultradwarf bermudagrasses in this trial. |
