Soil nitrate-N bioavailability data at a particular location can be helpful to the sports facility, golf course manager or sod producer. The application of required N fertilizers and risk of nitrate pollution must simultaneously be considered. Conventional methods, such as soil core analysis, do...

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...

Nowadays over 10 species of low-growing grasses are used for lawns but bluegrass, red fescue and perennial ryegrass are most popular. Normally they are planted as mixtures for standard and sport lawns. Bluegrass grows for many years and forms dense and uniform layer. There are long-, short-rhizome...

Sustainable phosphorus use is essential in golf course management to prevent eutrophication and overconsumption. The study aimed to investigate if phosphorus fertilization can be reduced without negative effects on turf quality. We compared two P fertilization recommendations based on soil...

Common turf management practices such as close mowing, high fertilization rates, and frequent watering, in combination with stressful environmental conditions, can cause creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) golf greens to decline during the summer months in warm humid climates. Conditions...

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...

Simulated putt devices (SPDs) are marketed to golf course superintendents to steer agronomic inputs intended to improve consistency of ball roll distance and direction on green canopies. Although research has demonstrated the use of SPDs to contrive green management practices that improve ball roll ...

Research has evaluated golf ball lie as means to compare various management techniques, determine the influence of nitrogen fertility, and separate turfgrass species and cultivars. However, little work has been performed to determine the impact of golf ball lie on playability, and therefore, the...

Weedy annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) has long been presumed to affect ball roll. However, no peer-reviewed research has evaluated the impact of annual bluegrass or other putting green surface anomalies on ball roll direction. Results to date suggest that several sources of error must be controlled ...
