Abstract
Athletic field managers inevitably will face periods of unplanned suspension from maintenance activities, this can be due to a variety of reasons including pandemics seen recently with COVID-19. When turf managers return, turf height of cut (HOC) can be much higher than desired. Reducing HOC can be stressful for the plant and turf managers alike, and information is lacking for the most efficient and effective way to reduce turf HOC. The objective of this research is to determine the best management regime to reduce height of cut, and provide a surface that is uniform, aesthetically pleasing, and safe for athletes. This is the second year of a two-year study.
