This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winterkill of turfgrasses on golf course putting greens is highly unpredictable and problematic for superintendents in northern climates, specifically in the Northeastern United States. Harsh winters in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons left many superintendents facing the difficult challenge of trying to recover from turf loss at a time coinciding with the opening of golf courses for play. Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.; CBG) putting greens are commonly infested with annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.; ABG). Annual bluegrass is known to be an aggressive weed and a species that is difficult to eradicate. Over time, ABG can become the dominant and preferred species to maintain on putting greens. This dominance of ABG in cold climates can become problematic due to the susceptibility of the species to temperature extremes when compared to CBG. In the event of winterkill, superintendents may discover turf loss in sporadic voids or possibly the loss of entire ABG putting greens after snow melt that occurs. If winterkill occurs, re-establishment of the putting surface via CBG seed or sod may be required. Seeding is often the preferred method of recovery, but temperatures in the early spring generally are considered suboptimal for germination. Limited information is available on the influence of suboptimal temperatures on bentgrass germination. The evaluation of CBG cultivar performance (e.g., germination) at low temperatures would be valuable to superintendents seeding in early spring. Additionally, information on effective methods of cultivation, nitrogen (N) fertilization, and seeding rates could optimize establishment of CBG and reduce losses of golf course revenue due to course closure. The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine the impact of suboptimal temperatures on bentgrass cultivar germination; and 2) elucidate the influence of cultivation methods, starter fertilizer rate, and seeding rate on the establishment of CBG. Differences in germination among cultivars were observed when seed was incubated at 10C. Samples of Pure Select, Greentime, Crystal BlueLinks, and Penn A-4 had the highest germination at 10C when incubated in the presence or absence of light. Mackenzie, PLS, Tyee, and Villa exhibited the lowest germination at 10C. Germinability at low temperatures should be considered as a factor in cultivar selection for early spring seeding at suboptimal temperatures.Field experiments indicated that seeding at a rate of 73 kg seed ha-1 and fertilizing at a rate of 73 kg N ha-1 increases seedling vigor and percent ground cover compared to lower seeding and N rates. Slicing was an effective method of cultivation. Putting greens cultivated by slicing alone, slicing + 13-mm hollow tine aeration, and slicing + 6-mm hollow tine aeration generally showed similar seedling vigor and percent cover, indicating that superintendents could use slicing alone to save money and time on hollow tine aeration. These cultivation practices, combined with careful cultivar selection, can optimize early spring seeding and may result in quicker recovery where winterkill occurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultivated turfgrass is an assemblage of mown, perennial grasses or prostrate-growing forb plants and a suite of microbes all competing with each other in a common environment. This book approaches turfgrass diseases from an ecological perspective and explains with examples how wild plants and microbes have co-evolved. It addresses the identification, biology and integrated management of both common turfgrass diseases and newly emergent diseases. It includes the common and lesser-known turfgrass species, their surrounding environment and the range of beneficial and pathogenic microbes which in combination explain why disease occurs. For disease identification purposes, fungal diseases are arranged according to their predominantly cool season and warm season occurrence. Turfgrass bacterial and viral diseases, and plant parasitic nematodes are also covered. Written by a team of international authors, it combines technical expertise and practical experience. Essential for anyone involved in managing turfgrass, this book provides the know-how to identify the early warning signs of diseases, in order to manipulate the environment and minimise the damage.

Download or read book Effects of Different Soil Testing Philosophies on Creeping Bentgrass (agrostis Palustris Huds.) and Annual Bluegrass (poa Annua) Putting Greens written by Jackie Lyn Guevara and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sufficiency Level of Available Nutrient (SLAN) and Minimum Levels for Sustainable Nutrition (MLSN) are two of the philosophies used for soil test interpretation in turfgrass management. A study was conducted from 2019 - 2020 to compare the effects of SLAN and MLSN nutrient recommendations on a 'Penn A-4' creeping bentgrass green (Agrostis palustris Huds.) and on a mix stand of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and 'Penncross' creeping bentgrass green grown on United States Golf Association specification rootzone. This study was a split plot with three factors and three replications. The whole plot included three levels: MLSN, SLAN and nitrogen (N) fertilized control treatment. The subplot included two levels: trafficked and non-trafficked. Soil samples were collected in spring and autumn to a depth of 15 cm. Turfgrass color, quality, and NDVI were measured monthly. In 2019, nutrient recommendation rate for MLSN was 73 kg N, 37 kg P and 60 kg K ha-1; SLAN was 73 kg N, 56 kg P and 222 kg K ha-1; and N-fertilized control was 73.2 kg N ha-1. There were no differences among treatments for NDVI, color and quality but the SLAN philosophy had the highest soil P and K levels in autumn of 2019. In 2020, nutrient recommendation rate for MLSN was 73 kg N, 38 kg P and 67 kg K ha-1; SLAN was 73 kg N, 31 kg P and 216 kg K ha-1; and N-fertilized control was 73 kg N ha-1. Both philosophies exhibited higher quality and healthier color compared to N-fertilized control. SLAN philosophy had the highest soil P level but there were no differences in soil K levels between the two philosophies in autumn of 2020.

Download or read book Selective Removal of Creeping Bentgrass from Kentucky Bluegrass written by Marcus Andre Jones and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a cool-season, perennial grass used predominately on golf course putting greens in temperate regions of the United States. However, due to the aggressive growth habit of bentgrass, it often spreads into surrounding areas of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), and is considered a weed because it disrupts turfgrass uniformity. Cultural practices provide little control of creeping bentgrass in Kentucky bluegrass because of the similar characteristics shared between species, and reports of herbicides controlling creeping bentgrass without harming Kentucky bluegrass are unavailable. Therefore, the objective of our research was to selectively control creeping bentgrass using herbicides with safety to Kentucky bluegrass. Experiments were designed to evaluate sulfosulfuron and mesotrione, two herbicides thought to have the capability for selective control. Control of creeping bentgrass with sulfosulfuron was dependent on proper application timing and less dependent on application rate. Applications of sulfosulfuron later in the fall were more effective compared with earlier applications, although no treatment provided> 31 % control. Kentucky bluegrass exhibited minor discoloration and appears tolerant of sulfosulfuron at application rates [less than or equal to] 22 g/ha. Late fall applications of sulfosulfuron may be useful in partially removing creeping bentgrass from a heavily contaminated sward of Kentucky bluegrass, but complete removal is questionable unless greater control can be achieved. Successful postemergence control of creeping bentgrass with mesotrione depended on the proper rate, number of applications, and application interval. Two applications of mesotrione, six weeks apart at 280 g/ha each, provided 69% control of creeping bentgrass. However, greater than 93% control of creeping bentgrass was achieved at rates of 140 or 210 g/ha when multiple applications were made two weeks apart. Kentucky bluegrass quality remained similar to untreated controls and the clipping yield and root production was not affected by mesotrione applications. Applications of mesotrione did reduce overall turfgrass quality by creating caps in the canopy where creeping bentgrass died. These data demonstrate the capability of mesotrione to provide effective postemergence control of creeping bentgrass with safety to Kentucky bluegrass. Mesotrione presents turf managers the opportunity for selective removal of creeping bentgrass in swards of Kentucky bluegrass.
