The effects of soil moisture, soil texture, and host orientation on the ability of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) to infect Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) demonstrate potential as a biological control for soil dwelling insects. However, edaphic factors, such as soil moisture and texture impact the efficacy of EPN on a host. The objectives were to examine the effects of soil

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

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

Climate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas. These findings highlight a growing global threat to food security and the need for proactive weed management strategies.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT MicroRNA319 (miR319) has been demonstrated to regulate plant development and responses to stress such as drought and salt. However, its role in thermotolerance, particularly in cool season grasses, remains unclear. Here we report that miR319 plays a negative role in heat tolerance of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera).

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.

Comparing Dislodgeable 2,4-D Residues across Athletic Field Turfgrass Species and Time. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 2,4-dimethylamine salt (2,4-D) is an herbicide commonly applied on athletic fields for broadleaf weed control that can dislodge from treated turfgrass. Dislodge potential is affected by numerous factors, including turfgrass canopy conditions. Building on
