Response of cool-season turfgrass to foliar applied and stabilized nitrogen fertilizers
… to determine factors that affect uptake of N by cool-season turfgrasses. Experiments were conducted to determine the quantity of foliar-applied N that is absorbed by turfgrass leaves, ways to optimize the process, and whether other common management practices can affect foliar N uptake under …

Systems to Attract and Feed Pollinators in Warm-Season Lawns
… of floral resources across their entire season of activity, and those floral resources can include both herbaceous and woody plant species. Managed turfgrass areas have been identified as potential locations for creating pollinator-friendly habitats. In the transition zone, where both …

Influence of Plant Growth Regulators on Turfgrass Growth, Antioxidant Status, and Drought Tolerance
… and ascorbic acid concentrations in the three turfgrass species. In the experiment with Kentucky bluegrass, drought stress increased beta-carotene concentration, but did not significantly influence superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Foliar application of humic acid (25% active HA) at 5 l/ha …

Improved Strategies for Dollar Spot Suppression Using Ferrous Sulfate
… is one of the most common diseases of warm- and cool-season turfgrass stands and is especially devastating on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.). The fungus Sclerotinia homoeocarpa degrades the foliage by creating silver, dollar-sized depressions of dead and bleached turf. Frequent …

Effects of Nitrate and Cytokinin on Nitrogen Metabolism and Heat Stress Tolerance of Creeping Bentgrass
… (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a major low-cut cool-season turfgrass used worldwide. The objectives of this research were to: 1) to gain insight into the diurnal fluctuation of N metabolism and effects of cytokinin (CK) and nitrate; 2) to characterize the impacts of N and CK on creeping …

Drought and salinity tolerance of cool-season turfgrasses
… increased use of recycled water/saline water for turfgrass irrigation in arid and semi-arid climates, there is an increasing demand for drought and salt tolerant turfgrass. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) …
