Progress and Challenges in China Turfgrass Abiotic Stress Resistance Research

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Turfgrasses are an important vehicle for urban ecology and one of the most important indicators of economy and civilization. The biological characteristics of different turfgrass species affect the productivity and quality of the turf and its potential ...

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 ...

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

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.

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),

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

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.

The influence of habitat quality on the foraging strategies of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis [PDF]

, 2010
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are soil-transmitted parasites and their foraging strategies are believed to range from ‘ambush’ to ‘cruise’ foragers. However, research on their behaviour has not considered the natural habitat of these nematodes.

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.
