Climate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas. These findings highlight a growing global threat to food security and the need for proactive weed management strategies.

Vegetation type mediates how urbanization reshapes the structure, function, and spatial variation of soil food webs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization represents one of the major anthropogenic alterations of the Earth's surface, with significant impacts on biodiversity and its functions. Soil animals are essential components of biodiversity, and their trophic interactions play integral roles in the ...

Genome-wide association for multiple quantitative traits in forage oat germplasm based on specific length amplified fragment sequencing

Frontiers in Plant Science
Oats (Avena sativa L.) is an ideal forage species due to its excellent production performance, high nutritional value, and robust adaptability. In the present study, we analyzed plant height (PH), panicle length (PL), stem diameter (SD), node number (NN),

Measurement of Unirrigated Turfgrass Evapotranspiration Rate in the Red River Valley

Vadose Zone Journal, 2019
Turfgrass actual evapotranspiration (ET) measurements are critical for water management and irrigation scheduling. With no historical ET measurements in eastern North Dakota, turfgrass ET rates were measured with the residual method using eddy covariance

The miR319/bHLH094 Module Regulates Creeping Bentgrass Thermotolerance by Modulating Auxin Biosynthesis and Signalling Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MicroRNA319 (miR319) has been demonstrated to regulate plant development and responses to stress such as drought and salt. However, its role in thermotolerance, particularly in cool season grasses, remains unclear. Here we report that miR319 plays a negative role in heat tolerance of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera).

Chemical control strategies for Poa annua in managed turfgrass systems

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Poa annua L. is a widespread and persistent weed in managed turfgrass systems, exhibiting both annual and short‐lived perennial growth habits. Effective management requires an integrated approach, with chemical herbicides remaining a primary tool.

Comparing the effects of soil test interpretations for P and K on a creeping bentgrass putting green

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Soil testing provides golf course superintendents with the information needed to apply fertilizers at optimal rates, thereby avoiding nutrient deficiencies and unnecessary applications. However, nutrient rate recommendations vary depending on how soil test results are interpreted.

Environmental parameters and fertilisers as factors affecting the salicylic acid and total polyphenol contents in sport turfgrasses

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2022
In 2019, we conducted a field experiment to test the effects of three different granular fertilizers on the salicylic acid and total phenolic contents in five different sport turfgrass mixtures under natural conditions.

Effects of within‐event aerator‐pass frequency and tine size on sand incorporation and organic matter accumulation in cool‐season putting greens of the Pacific Northwest

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Aeration, when combined with sand topdressing, introduces sand into putting green root zones. More intensive aeration during a single event is becoming increasingly common to reduce the number of aeration events during a year. The goal of this study was to compare different aerator‐pass frequencies with 0.375‐ or 0.625‐inch (diameter) solid ...

Summer‐dormant, perennial groundcover has minimal effect on plant‐available nutrients and no effect on maize yield

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Conventional agriculture in the US Midwest has accelerated crop productivity but also contributed to undesirable environmental issues. Perennial groundcovers (PGCs), such as cool‐season grasses intercropped in the maize (Zea mays L.) interrow, have the potential to reduce soil erosion rates and mitigate nutrient losses.
