Abstract

The lists contained within this booklet are designed to enable users of turfgrass seed to evaluate the suitability of different cultivars for various amenity uses. Tabulated data are presented on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and smooth-stalked meadow-grass (Poa pratensis) for use in winter...

Abstract

Flutolanil and pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) are fungicides used to control or suppress foliar and soil borne diseases in turf and ornamental crops. On golf courses, sports fields, sod farms and commercial lawns these fungicides are used as preventive treatments to combat snow mold, brown patch...

Abstract

On golf courses planted to creeping bentgrass, invasion of annual bluegrass is a constant concern. To analyze if nitrogen fertilization manipulation could bias growth to creeping bentgrass, both grasses were fertilized either through foliar or soil application with either urea or ammonium sulfate...

Abstract

Simulated golf greens were used to test the growth of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L. '007') receiving suboptimal chemical fertilization in sand based substrates amended with 15% peat (control), a commercial biochar, a commercial biochar-compost mixture (CarbonizPN-Soil), or seven...

Abstract

Two independent trials were conducted on a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) putting green (PG) to evaluate early-response of canopy quality, growth, and nutrient use to rate and/or type of foliarly-applied nitrogen (N) fertilizer. Treatments were prepared using soluble 'Amine' or 'Salt' ...

Abstract

Methiozolin is an isoxazoline herbicide that selectively controls annual bluegrass in cool-season turf and may control roughstalk bluegrass, another weedy Poa species that is problematic in many turfgrass systems. However, the majority of research to date is limited to evaluating methiozolin...

Abstract

The detection of pesticides, associated with turfgrass management, in storm runoff and surface waters of urban watersheds has raised concerns regarding their source, potential environmental effects and a need for strategies to reduce their inputs. In previous research we discovered that hollow tine ...

Abstract

Maintaining quality golf course turf often requires irrigation and application of fertilizer. The transport of excess nutrients with runoff water from highly managed and fertilized biological systems to surrounding surface waters has been shown to result in enhanced algal blooms and promotion of...

Abstract

Main conclusion: First observation that chemical spray can induce limited-transpiration rate under high vapor pressure deficit. It appears that acibenzolar may be key in inducing this water conservation trait. Irrigation and water use have become major issues in management of turfgrasses. Plant...

Abstract

Annual bluegrass seedhead suppression on golf greens by spring-applied plant growth regulators (PGR) has been erratic between years and locations. To effectively suppress annual bluegrass seedheads on greens, current information suggest ethephon must be applied before floral initiation. Rogue...
