Plant growth regulator and spring nitrogen effects on grass seed crops in western Canada

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used in herbage seed crops to mitigate lodging risk and protect seed yield, though their effects on aging perennial grass stands remain understudied. This study evaluated the effect of PGRs on the agronomic characteristics of herbage seed crops of creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), meadow brome (Bromus ...

Effect of planting date and phosphorus fertilization on Prizm zoysiagrass establishment from sprigs

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) is a popular warm‐season turfgrass in the transition zone and southern United States. It is known for its low input requirements and enhanced cold and shade tolerance compared to bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.). However, the slow growth of zoysiagrass can hinder rapid establishment from sprigs.

Similar drought avoidance and contrasting tolerance and recovery capacity across zoysiagrass cultivars: insights from controlled and field droughts

Grass Research
Improvements in water use efficiency and drought resistance in turfgrasses can help them maintain performance and quality with reduced irrigation, thereby contributing to water conservation. This study aimed to better understand the importance of drought

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 ...

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.

Phenomics‐driven insights into zoysiagrass drought resistance using small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS)‐based hyperspectral images

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
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
