Spatial relationship of turfgrass tissue nitrogen content and several vegetation indices on sand‐capped golf course fairways

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Vegetation indices (VIs), such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), are widely used to assess nitrogen (N) status in crop systems and are gaining interest in turfgrass management. However, most studies have been conducted in controlled settings, and their relevance under real‐world golf course conditions remains unclear.

A justification for continued management of turfgrass during economic contraction

Agricultural & Environmental Letters, 2020
A novel coronavirus, termed COVID‐19, spread worldwide and become a global pandemic in 2020. Forecasts show that COVID‐19 will cause substantial economic contraction affecting almost every industry.

Reengineering the Baldree Traffic Simulator for turfgrass wear and traffic research

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Historically, turfgrass researchers utilized the Baldree Traffic Simulator (BTS) to imitate foot traffic for the evaluation of athletic field wear tolerance and performance. Research was conducted to reengineer the BTS “feet” to improve adaptability and compatibility with other aerification units and determine biophysical effects on two native

Monitoring trends of volumetric water content in turfgrass rootzones with a soil moisture meter from 2014 to 2021

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The POGO TurfPro is a hand‐held, portable device that utilizes coaxial impedance dielectric permittivity technology to measure soil volumetric water content (VWC; v:v%) and other variables in highly managed turfgrass rootzones. Since 2014, measurements obtained on this soil moisture meter platform have been captured digitally by Amazon Web ...

Landscape weed control varies by preemergence herbicide, formulation, and geography

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Mulch, mechanical removal, and herbicides are the most common weed control practices employed in landscapes. Previous research demonstrated preemergence herbicide efficacy in nurseries, but research in landscapes with and without mulching is limited.

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.

Hydraulic Fluid Type and Remediation Practices on Hydraulic Leak Injury to Creeping Bentgrass Putting Greens

HortTechnology, 2019
Equipment with hydraulic implements are often used to maintain turfgrass surfaces. Hydraulic implements can malfunction and lead to leaks or spills of hydraulic fluid, which is phytotoxic to turfgrass.

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.

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 ...
