Effects of spring dead spot and winter injury on Athletic fields: II— Athlete–surface and ball–surface interactions

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Spring dead spot (SDS), caused by Ophiosphaerella spp., and winterkill are common stressors affecting hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. × Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy] athletic fields in the transition zone, yet their effects on athlete–surface and ball–surface interactions remain unclear.

The Fate of Nitrogen Applied to Florida Turfgrass

EDIS, 2018
The quality of Florida’s surface and ground waters is of utmost importance to the flora and fauna living in them, as their growth is directly related to the amount of nutrients in these waters.

A Bayesian latent‐scale model for quantifying turfgrass seasonality from turf quality ratings in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Seasonal variation in turfgrass quality is important for cultivar evaluation in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). However, quantifying these patterns directly from visual ratings is difficult, because these ratings are ordinal, subjective, and collected repeatedly from spatially structured field trials.

Simulating soil organic carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in dry regions: A review of the scope and limitations of biogeochemical models

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in dry (arid and semi‐arid) agroecosystems are regulated by low and variable moisture, episodic wet–dry cycles, and limited organic inputs. Although process‐based biogeochemical models are widely used to quantify these processes, a comprehensive assessment of their ...

Tall fescue performance in response to natural organic and synthetic granular fertilizers and Rhizoctonia solani inoculation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Repeated applications of natural organic based fertilizers can benefit soil health and potentially suppress some turfgrass diseases. One of the major summer diseases affecting many lawns is brown patch (caused by various Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia‐like species).

Investigating tradeoffs in perennial ryegrass turfgrass performance and seed yield capacity in the US Midwest

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Understanding the trade‐offs between improving turfgrass performance and seed production capacity would improve acceptance and accelerate the release of new perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars.

Response of Seven Turfgrass Species to Pyridate

Weed Technology
Pyridate, a photosystem II-inhibiting herbicide used since the 1980s in crops such as corn, cereals, and sorghum, shows promise for turfgrass weed control; however, its safety to turfgrass species remains untested. This study evaluated pyridate’s effects

Florida Turfgrass Identification

EDIS
Proper turfgrass identification is required before considering any lawn maintenance practices. Each of the different grasses used for Florida lawns have different management and without accurate identification, mismanagement could occur, leading to ...
