Review of the biology and management of large patch of warm‐season turfgrasses

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Large patch (Rhizoctonia solani Kühn: anastomosis group [AG] 2‐2) is a destructive disease in warm‐season turfgrasses worldwide, particularly zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.). Developing as an orange or tan color, the disease starts as small, round patches that can eventually progress to several meters in diameter.

Characterization of cool‐ and warm‐season turfgrass host suitability to annual bluegrass weevil (Listronotus maculicollis, Kirby)

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract The annual bluegrass weevil, Listronotus maculicollis Kirby, is considered the most destructive insect pest of short‐mown turfgrasses in northeastern North America. Poa annua L. is the preferred host plant, though the weevil can develop in other cool‐season (C3) turfgrasses such as bentgrasses (Agrostis spp.

Shade, height of cut, and plant growth regulator effects on bermudagrass and zoysiagrass putting greens

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Warm‐season turfgrasses, especially hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers × Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy), continue to be widely used on golf course putting greens in tropical and subtropical climates globally and are also gaining popularity in the transition zone region of the United States.

Irrigation frequency effects on Prizm zoysiagrass establishment from sprigs

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) is a popular choice for commercial and residential lawns, as well as golf course fairways and tees because it requires less light, fertilizer, and mowing compared to bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.). However, zoysiagrass' slow growth rate compared to other putting green options presents a challenge for both rapid ...

Combined Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis Reveals the Molecular Mechanism by Which ZmPDI Improves Salt Resistance in Rice (Oryza sativa)

Agriculture
As one of the most salt-tolerant grasses, characterizing salt-tolerance genes of Zoysia matrella [L.] Merr. not only broaden the theoretical information of salt tolerance, but also provide new salt-resistant genetic resources for crop breeding.

Carbohydrate Metabolism During Wintering Period in Four Zoysiagrass Genotypes

Plant Production Science, 2015
A key barrier to widespread use of warm-season grasses in the transition zone between the temperate and subtropical climates is represented by the winter dormancy, a temporary suspension of visible growth of any plant structure including the meristem. In

Effects of close cutting on ground cover and quality of a polystand of Manilagrass and cool season turfgrasses

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2019
Warm season turfgrasses can be grown successfully in the transition zone, but dormancy occurs to some extent during the winter. Overseeding with cool-season turfgrasses is necessary if winter dormancy of warm season turfgrasses is not tolerated.

Using electromagnetic induction to inform precision turfgrass management strategies in sand‐capped golf course fairways

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract To meet the turfgrass standards that players expect, golf course superintendents rely on intense irrigation, fertilization, and cultivation programs. However, the overapplication of irrigation water and fertilizer has been shown to have negative effects on water quality.

Is there a relationship between clipping weight and volume on golf course fairways?

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2024.
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are regularly used on golf courses to reduce mowing requirements. PGR efficacy is commonly assessed via measurements of clipping weight; however, this process is time consuming and requires specialized equipment. Golf course superintendents have started to evaluate PGR efficacy via measurements of clipping volume.
