Autonomous and reel mowers in golf course fairway maintenance: A case study in Italy

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The golf industry is undergoing a technological transformation with the integration of autonomous solutions for turf maintenance. The implementation of autonomous mowers (AMs) offers the potential for maintaining low cutting heights at high frequencies, thereby reducing soil compaction and labor requirements.

Management strategies for preventing and recovering from zoysiagrass winterkill

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) is a warm‐season grass used from tropical to temperate climates, and it generally requires fewer inputs than most other cool‐ and warm‐season turfgrasses. The development of new zoysiagrass cultivars has increased its use in the United States, but its adaptation and specific uses are species and cultivar ...

Re‐establishment of an annual bluegrass putting green following simulated winterkill

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract A common method of re‐establishing putting greens following winterkill is to vertically mow and apply seed. There is very little information available on when spring seeding should occur and what creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) cultivars should be used in the field.

Zoysiagrass sod production: A review

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) produces a high‐quality warm‐season turfgrass sward and requires fewer management inputs compared with many other warm‐season turfgrass species. Three primary species, all known by the common name “zoysiagrass,” are used in the United States, and these include Z. japonica, Z. matrella, and Z. pacifica.

Shoulder season plant growth regulator programs for Poa annua control in creeping bentgrass putting greens in Tennessee

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Many golf course superintendents rely on plant growth regulators (PGRs) as a primary means of managing Poa annua L. in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), particularly the early‐stage gibberellic acid inhibitor paclobutrazol (Trimmit 2SC; Syngenta Professional Products). While herbicides for Poa annua control are often applied during
