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

open access: yesCrop, 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.

Measurement of Unirrigated Turfgrass Evapotranspiration Rate in the Red River Valley

open access: yesVadose 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

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Characterising Spectral Sensitivity and the Role of Sunlight Intensity in Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) Surveillance and Monitoring (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 46-55, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Japanese beetle (JB) Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) has been a significant invasive pest for over a century in North America. Several studies have reported that plants under direct sunlight are preferred and trap colour affects the number of beetles captured, indicating that visual stimuli influence JB behaviour. Despite this,

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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),

Poa annua becomes the first weed to evolve resistance to indaziflam applied preemergence and early‐postemergence

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 539-551, January 2026.
We report the first confirmed global case of Poa annua evolving resistance to indaziflam applied both preemergence and early‐postemergence. Resistance intensified under cool temperatures, was not reversed by metabolic inhibitors, and was often linked to multiple resistance, underscoring urgent needs for integrated weed management.

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

open access: yesActa 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.

How Management Practices Shape the “Local Habitat Signature” That Modulates Bird Communities in Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Local scale factors, not just the broad urban gradient, are the key drivers of urban bird communities. Our multi‐scale study found that specific management practices, such as managing leaf litter depth or the presence of unmanaged tall grass, explained the largest portion of variation in bird composition.
