Abstract
The predominant weed species in greens and fairways in five selected golf courses in Laguna and Cavite, namely Canlubang Golf and Country Club course, Manila Southwoods, Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club, Tat Filipinas Golf and Country Club, were determined based on weed density and cover. The most difficult to control weed species were also determined based on interviews with the clubs superintendents of the Golf courses.
The three most common weed species in the green and fairways were purple nutsedges (Cyperus rotundus L.) goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertin) and sour paspalum (Paspalum conjugatum Berg.) Purple nutsedge was common in both the greens and fairways in all the five golf courses. Goosegrass was the predominant weed in the greens in two of the five golf courses; and four of the five golf courses in the fairways. Sour paspalum was common in the greens and fairways in two of the five golf courses.
The most difficult weeds to control based on the experiences of the interviewed superintendents were purple nutsedge and goosegrass.
Existing and management systems in the five golf courses are discussed and possible reasons for the persistence of the predominant weed species in the different golf courses are indicated.
