Management strategies for preventing and recovering from bermudagrass winterkill

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2024.
Abstract Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp. Rich) is a warm‐season grass that is widely planted throughout tropical, sub‐tropical, and even temperate climates, and it generally requires fewer inputs than most cool‐season turfgrasses. In recent years, the area of adaptation for bermudagrass has progressively expanded to cooler climates due to the development of

The role of turfgrasses in environmental protection and their benefits to humans: Thirty years later

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 2909-2944, November/December 2024.
Abstract Beard and Green compiled one of the earliest reviews on the environmental and societal (cultural) benefits that living turfgrass systems (e.g., home lawns, athletic fields, golf courses, roadsides, and grounds) provide to humans and associated contemporary issues with turfgrass.

Opportunities for integrated pest management to control the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

, 2011
Dermanyssus gallinae is the most economically important ectoparasite of laying hens in Europe. Control of D. gallinae is already hampered by issues of pesticide resistance and product withdrawal and, with the prohibition of conventional cages in 2012 and

A steady-state model for predicting hygrothermal conditions in beds in relation to house dust mite requirements [PDF]

, 2005
This paper describes the development, testing and validation of a simple steady-state hygrothermal bed model (BED) which predicts conditions of temperature and relative humidity within the bed core (the occupied space between mattress and covering ...

Interrelations between citrus rust mite, Hirsutella thompsonii and greasy spot on citrus in Surinam [PDF]

, 1975
Counts of citrus rust mite (Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashm.)) on leaves and fruit of citrus rose to a peak in the two dry seasons, the build up taking 4-5 weeks.

A hygrothermal model for predicting house dust mite response to environmental conditions in dwellings [PDF]

, 1999
House-dust mite antigens are a major contributor to allergic sensitisation. Since temperature and humidity are crucial to house-dust mite physiology, there is considerable interest in reducing mite populations by controlling the indoor environment.

Controlling house dust mites through ventilation: the development of a model of mite response to varying hygrothermal conditions [PDF]

, 2001
There is clear evidence that house dust mite populations in many climatic regions can potentially be controlledby modifying temperature and humidity within dwellings.

Control methods for Dermanyssus gallinae in systems for laying hens: results of an international seminar [PDF]

, 2009
This paper reports the results of a seminar on poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae. Eighteen researchers from eight European countries discussed life cycle issues of the mite, effects of mites on hens and egg production, and monitoring and ...

A hydrothermal vent mite (Halacaridae, Acari) with a new Corynophrya species (Suctoria, Ciliophora), description of the suctorian and its distribution on the halacarid mite [PDF]

, 2010
Copidognathus nautilei Bartsch, 1997, from a hydrothermal vent field of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at about 13 degrees N, 45 degrees W and 4090 m depth, was infested with the suctorian Corynophrya abyssalis n. sp., with up to 58 epizoans per mite.

Application of a transient hygrothermal population model for house dust mites in beds: assessment of control strategies in UK buildings [PDF]

, 2011
This article discusses the capabilities and the application of an innovative combined hygrothermal and population model to assess the impact of building design and occupant behaviour on house dust mite populations in a mattress. The combined model is the
