Root cell wall polysaccharides and endodermal barriers restrict long-distance Cd translocation in the roots of Kentucky bluegrass

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Soil Cd pollution is a significant environmental issue faced by contemporary society. Kentucky bluegrass is considered a potential phytoremediation species, as some varieties have excellent cadmium (Cd) tolerance.

Amendements on Salinity and Water Retention of Sand Base Rootzone and Turfgrass Yield

Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2019
This research was column pot experiment with turfgrass was Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) plant irrigated saline irrigation and the column soaked in saline water. Rootzone profile consisted of 20 cm using saline lake dredged up sand.

Evapotranspiration of Kentucky Bluegrass

, 2010
Rapid population growth in arid regions of the western US is placing increased demand on water resources. Variability in precipitation and common occurrence of drought have promoted scrutiny of water use in urban lawns and gardens. However, few reliable measurements of water use of these landscapes exist.

Permanent winter hay‐feeding stations concentrate soil nutrients in Kentucky pastures

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Distribution of soil nutrients as a function of centralized winter hay‐feeding stations can lead to inefficient nutrient utilization and environmental quality concerns, but distributions have not been adequately characterized across a diversity of soils.

Tall fescue performance in response to natural organic and synthetic granular fertilizers and Rhizoctonia solani inoculation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Repeated applications of natural organic based fertilizers can benefit soil health and potentially suppress some turfgrass diseases. One of the major summer diseases affecting many lawns is brown patch (caused by various Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia‐like species).

Gibberellic acid application enhances seed yield, biomass, and plant growth in Kentucky bluegrass production

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is a cool‐season grass used for forage and turf with seed production occurring primarily in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Climate change in this region, characterized by warmer winters, threatens Kentucky bluegrass flowering and seed yield due to altered vernalization patterns.

Elevated temperature and increased precipitation alter isoflavone concentrations and biomass of red clover

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a widely grown perennial forage legume that supports sustainable livestock production through its high nutritive value and bioactive isoflavones. Future climate change, particularly warming and increased rainfall, may influence forage accumulation and isoflavone concentrations.

Good to the Last Drop? Nectar Depletion by Insect Pollinators Varies Among Plant Species and Through Time

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Understanding how pollinators compete for available floral resources (nectar, pollen, etc.) across time is poorly studied, especially in the western hemisphere. To address this knowledge gap, we measured nectar availability and subsequent depletion as a proxy for resource competition intensity among pollinators in an early successional old field ...

Predicted genetic consequences of alternative population control strategies for North American plains bison in Yellowstone National Park

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Management of bison in Yellowstone National Park under the available strategies that maintained ≥3,500 individuals (1:1 sex ratio), removed <40% of the population at a time and prioritized relatives for removal were predicted to maintain genetic variation at levels consistent with long‐term conservation (>95% of existing variation).

Effects of Plant Growth-promoting Microorganisms on Kentucky Bluegrass Field Establishment

HortTechnology
Slow seed germination and seedling growth cause the slow field establishment of kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis). Previous research showed that plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) can enhance plant growth and stress tolerance.
