Physiological and Growth Responses of Six Turfgrass Species Relative to Salinity Tolerance
The demand for salinity-tolerant turfgrasses is increasing due to augmented use of effluent or low-quality water (sea water) for turf irrigation and the growing turfgrass industry in coastal areas. Experimental plants, grown in plastic pots filled with a

Application of herbicides as growth regulators of emerald Zoysia grass fertilized with nitrogen
Nitrogen (N) is essential for nutrition and for the maintenance of the intense green color of lawns. However, this element affects shoot growth and, therefore, mowing frequency, which is a key factor of lawn-maintenance costs.

Microhabitat segregation among three co-existing species of grasshoppers on a rural meadow near Seoul, South Korea [PDF]
Microhabitat segregation among grasshopper species in Asia has not been well studied. We determined the differences in the use of substrates by three common North East Asian grasshopper species co-existing on a natural meadow near Seoul, South Korea ...

Management strategies for preventing and recovering from zoysiagrass winterkill
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 ...

Zoysiagrass sod production: A review
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.

Abstract The application of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS)‐based high‐throughput phenotyping in plant breeding has advanced significantly over the past decade. Hyperspectral images and machine learning approaches offer potential to enhance drought resistance screening in turfgrass. However, large‐scale field applications remain limited, and the

Assessment of Temperature Reduction and Evapotranspiration of Green Roof Planted with Zoysia japonica [PDF]
Abstract This was an experimental study to evaluate temperature reduction and evapotranspiration of extensive green roof. Three test cells with a dimension of 1.2(W)×1.2(D)×1.0(H) meters were built using 4-inch concrete blocks. Ten-centimeter concrete slab was installed on top of each cell.

In Mediterranean areas, very scarce rainfalls during the summer season are a limiting factor to the sowing and managing of turfgrasses. This work evaluates the response to different irrigation regimes (50 or 75% of reference evapotranspiration) of ...

Role of Polyamines in Mitigating Salinity Stress in Ornamental and Food Crops
ABSTRACT Soil and irrigation salinity continue to have a major impact on the world's agriculture and horticulture, and loss of plant production is likely to worsen with global warming and climate change. Efforts to mitigate salinity stress and breed better salt‐tolerant plants rely on our knowledge of plant response to abiotic stress at the ...
