Rolling after the application of a contact fungicide does not reduce efficacy on putting greens

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Golf course superintendents are often challenged by labor shortages and must find creative ways to complete maintenance tasks, such as rolling putting greens immediately after a fungicide application, before golfers arrive. However, there is concern that rolling immediately after a fungicide application could reduce its efficacy. The objective

Alternative covering approaches to protect ultradwarf bermudagrass putting greens from winterkill

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Winterkill remains a constant concern for warm‐season putting greens in the transition zone, particularly on ultradwarf hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers × C. transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy]. Using protective covers is an essential management strategy to prevent winterkill on putting greens.

Measuring turfgrass canopy interception and throughfall using co-located pluviometers.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Turfgrass management relies on frequent watering events from natural precipitation or irrigation. However, most irrigation scheduling strategies in turfgrass ignore the magnitude of canopy interception.

UAV‐based RGB and multispectral vegetation indices as alternatives to light box‐derived dark green color index for turfgrass color assessment

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Traditionally, turfgrass color has been assessed through visual ratings or light box‐based digital image analysis, methods that are either subjective or labor‐intensive. In this study, we evaluated the potential of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based multispectral and red‐green‐blue (RGB) imagery as a high‐throughput alternative for capturing ...

Corn tolerance and weed control with amicarbazone and metribuzin applied preemergence

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Since the late 1950s, atrazine has been a cornerstone of corn (Zea mays L.) weed control, but decades of use have raised concerns about groundwater contamination and enhanced biodegradation. Therefore, amicarbazone and metribuzin were evaluated as alternatives to preemergence use of atrazine in corn.

Evaluating soil amendments for establishment of centipedegrass sod

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soil amendments are frequently incorporated prior to turfgrass sod installation to improve rooting and establishment; however, these materials represent a substantial cost to contractors, sod producers, and homeowners. Despite the widespread use of compost, topsoil, and sand, limited information exists on whether these amendments provide ...

Adaptability to High Temperature and Stay-Green Genotypes Associated With Variations in Antioxidant, Chlorophyll Metabolism, and γ-Aminobutyric Acid Accumulation in Creeping Bentgrass Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
High temperature limits the cultivation and utilization of cool-season plants in many regions worldwide. Recently, extreme hot waves swept across the globe in summer, leading to enormous economic loss.

Genetic analyses of leaf traits in an interspecific Zoysia japonica × Zoysia matrella F2 population

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is an important warm‐season turfgrass cultivated across tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of the world. The genus is characterized by the presence of salt‐secreting glands on the adaxial leaf surface, which contribute to its high salt tolerance.
