Tissue biomechanical strength, wear resistance and recovery in C4 turfgrass species: physiological and morphological factors and innovative evaluation techniques. [PDF]

, 2011
Turfgrass wear effects are known to be the sum of soil compaction and plant tissue injury. As such, tissue intrinsic resistance to several mechanical factors, including traction stress, is a decisive in determining the wear resistance of a turfgrass ...

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

Shade and Nitrogen Fertilizer Effects on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Creeping Bentgrass Putting Greens

Horticulturae
Climate change mitigation requires creative solutions to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG). Little research has been performed on GHG emissions from shaded turfgrass systems, resulting in a lack of best management practice (BMP) development.
