Abstract

In cooler regions of the temperate climate, there is a need to extend the football grounds accessibility beyond the natural grass vegetation season due to the football season set by UEFA from mid-February to mid-December. Turf covering is one of the methods that can be used. As this may be...

Abstract

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...

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

Turfgrasses are perennial components of urban greenspaces found in parks, recreational areas, golf courses, sports fields, and lawns that confer many ecosystem services. A copious seed producer, Poa annua is the most troublesome weed of turfgrass and continually threatens the ecosystem services...

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 annual bluegrass weevil Listronotus maculicollis (Dietz) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is a pest of highly maintained annual bluegrass, Poa annua L. (Poaceae) on golf courses and tennis courts throughout the Northeast. The species was first seen on turfgrass in Connecticut in 1931 and by the...

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...

Abstract

Methiozolin is a selective herbicide that has been reported to control annual bluegrass in creeping bentgrass putting greens. Golf course managers frequently tank-mix fertilizers with herbicides to reduce time and labor, but no information is available regarding such mixtures with methiozolin....

Abstract

Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L; ABG) is susceptible to damage from ice cover. Effects of chemical treatments on ice survival under low temperature growth chamber conditions were studied. Field putting green plots of ABG were treated in the fall of 2014 and 2015 with Civitas, mefluidide,...

Abstract

The plant-endoparasitic nematode Anguina pacificae is presently one of the most destructive pests of Poa annua in Northern California, causing stem galls at the base of tillers in this annual bluegrass, resulting in yellow or brown patches and irregular surfaces on golf course putting greens. The...
