	Mowing
		Mowing is an important management tool in annual weed control to prevent weeds from generating seed.
		Mowing is also critical if the existing vegetation will create sufficient shade at the soil surface to kill off native seedlings or prevent native seed from germinating.
		Mowing the prairie site did not appear to damage existing native plants, in fact, the mowed plants grew in thicker and healthier.

	Mowing Practices
		Mowing heights may be raised slightly during summer months to reduce the frequency of mowing and to reduce watering.
		Mowing heights may be raised again in the fall on warm season grasses to reduce the risk of winterkill from low temperatures.
		Mowing the same direction between alternate yardage stripes on a football field may be done for the visual effect, but the direction should be reversed occasionally.

	Lawn Talk - Mowing Lawns Properly
		Mowing has a major impact on lawn appearance and health, yet is often overlooked in terms of importance.
		Lawns should be mowed according to the rate of grass growth; remember not to remove more than one-third of the grass leaf in any one cutting.
		The first and last mowing of the year should be at a height of about 2 inches; avoid scalping in spring and allowing the grass to remain excessively high at the end of fall.

	Mowers and Mowing, HYG-1190-93
		The short mowing height weakens the grass and increases its susceptibility to weed invasion, disease and injury from drought and summer heat.
		Mowing frequency is extremely important in the Don't Bag It program to ensure a healthy lawn and reduce the accumulation of clipping debris on the lawn surface.
		The longer clippings resulting from an infrequent mowing can still remain on the lawn if the clumps of grass are spread out evenly over the lawn to allow them to readily decompose, or if the clippings are allowed to dry for a day or two, then mowed again to distribute them evenly.

	Defoliation - Mowing - Grass Growth and Regrowth for Improved Management
		Mowing is different than grazing in two ways: 1) mowing usually results in a uniform cutting height and 2) the height can be predetermined.
		Mow the grass at a height that is advantageous for grass regrowth mechanisms and for stand longevity.
		Mowing should be done immediately after livestock are removed from the pasture.

	Mowing to Manage Noxious Weeds, from the Montana State University Extension Service
		Mowing undesired plants decreases their competitive abilities and favors desired plants if proper timing, frequency and height of mowing are considered for each vegetative situation.
		Mowing during this time can prevent weed seed production and weaken the weeds after they have invested a large amount of energy for bolting (when the stem extends from the center of the rosette upwards two to four feet) and producing reproductive structures.
		Mowing frequency depends upon precipitation and the mowing tolerances of the vegetationa function of relative growth rates, leaf replacement potential and the plant's ability to increase photosynthesis after mowing to compensate for leaf loss.

	Lawn-Mowing.com - Mowing grasses with power mowers.
		Mowing early in the spring as the grasses get started helps to remove the weeds, which are already getting to the seeding stage.
		In the cool season areas grasses that are affected by fungi sometimes require more frequent mowing to remove the growth and get more air circulating to help prevent or lessen fungal attack.
		Mowing of heat stressed grass in the middle of the day only promotes more loss of moisture and nutrients unless watering systems are used shortly afterward.

	Establish mowing patterns
		Effective striping equipment To achieve mowing patterns, you need to use the appropriate equipment-such as a reel-type mower or a sweeper-to lay the grass down in the direction you need to achieve the effect you want.
		Mowing with a triplex (or rotary mower) first and then rolling the pattern guarantees a uniform cut.
		Mow cool-season grasses at higher heights than warm-season grasses; the extra length of the grass blades adds to the intensity of special patterns.

	Mowing Lawns
		Mow turfgrasses under stress — such as heat, drought or shade — at a higher level of cut.
		Proper mowing is important in creating a good-quality lawn because it encourages a dense stand of grass plants.
		If the grass becomes too tall between mowings, raise the mowing height and then gradually reduce it until the recommended height is reached.

		Conversely, mowing is a destructive practice; it reduces turf grass leaf area available for producing necessary plant metabolites and also opens leaves to disease entrance.
		Mowing turf at the appropriate height is important to turf health and appearance.
		In summary, mow frequently at the recommended height using the "1/3 rule." Maintain blade sharpness, mow when turf is dry, and return clippings to produce the best quality, most healthy turf possible.

	Lawn Mowing
		Mowing is the most basic and frequently practiced of all lawn care operations.
		If a lawn grows excessively high for some reason, the mowing height should be gradually reduced to the proper height over a span of several mowings rather than all at once.
		Mowing when the lawn is dry will help to prevent clumping; however, the lawn should not be allowed to grow excessively high merely because the grass is wet.

		Frequent mowing will produce a richer, greener and fuller lawn than a lawn that is mowed every other week during peak growing seasons.
		One of the most common mistakes in mowing, besides mowing too low, is mowing with a dull blade.
		Mowing with a dull blade tears the ends of grass blades, leaving ragged ends which later turn brown, giving the lawn a dried-out look.

	Mowing
		Mowing, irrigation, and fertilization are the primary tasks required for a good turfgrass quality.
		As a rule, mowing at or near the bottom of its recommended range produces a plant that is aesthetically more pleasing but is less tolerant of environmental stresses and is more disease prone.
		Since the orientation of the turfgrass after mowing influences the light reflections from the turf surface, mowing direction should be varied with each successive mowing to encourage the upright growth of shoots.

	lawn mowing
		That's why it's interesting to ponder the future of mowing when some potential development — genetically engineered “slow-grow” turfgrass, for example — is reported.
		Despite the occasional predictions of mowing's demise, an examination of what mowing accomplishes suggests that as long as we have turf, we'll mow it.
		The powerful aesthetic appeal of a lush, green, freshly mowed sward ensures that this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.

	AZ Master Gardener Manual: Maintenance (Cont.)
		Mowing a turf at the low end of the allowable height range has the benefits of: (1) increased shoot density, and (2) narrower leaf width (finer texture).
		A better technique is to mow the lawn twice, cutting only one-half the required amount on the first pass lower the mower and mow at the desired height on the second pass.
		Never reach into the mowing chamber while the blades are under power, as to dislodge clippings from the discharge chute.

	Lawn Mowing, HYG-4020-93
		Lawn mowing is a partial defoliation of the turfgrass plant.
		Mowing at right angles (90 degrees) to the previous direction will help prevent the grass from repeatedly being pushed in one direction and laying over, an important consideration at high mowing heights.
		Mowing should not, however, be delayed for long periods of time because the grass is wet.
