Measuring sod strength of Kentucky bluegrass and Supina bluegrass
The extent of root, rhizome, and/or stolon growth determines turfgrass sod maturity. In 1998, at Michigan State University, the Calrochan Sod Puller (CSP) was developed to measure the force necessary to tear a piece of sod. The CSP uses a battery powered hydraulic pulley to provide a consistent pulling force, and is attached to a load cell. In August 1999, sod strength measurements of different...
متن کاملAluminum Tolerances of Ten Warm-season Turfgrasses
Acid soils are abundant in tropical and subtropical regions and account for approximately 40 percent of arable land in the world. Next to oxygen and silicon, aluminum (Al) is the third most abundant element in soils and is the main toxic factor for plant growth in acidic soils. Therefore, two glasshouse studies were conducted to determine the influence of Al on root and shoot mass and nutrient ...
متن کاملSod Production Using Seeded Bermudagrass
The development of improved seeded bermudagrass cultivars has led to an increased interest in these grasses for numerous areas of turfgrass use. One area that has yet to be investigated is the potential to produce sod using a seed-propagated bermudagrass, rather than the standard practice of vegetative propagation, which is currently used. To this end, a series of studies are underway to invest...
متن کاملDifferential expression of EC-SOD, Mn-SOD and CuZn-SOD in rat lung exposed to crystalline silica.
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are antioxidant enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into hydrogen peroxide. There are 3 kinds of isozymes: extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD). To examine the expression of SOD isozymes in lungs injured by crystalline silica, we...
متن کاملMetal-Dependent SOD Mimics
Superoxide dismutase is an important antioxidant to control the free radical reactions related to superoxide generated in biological system. However, its large molecule and short lifespan in vivo limit its clinical use. Extensive studies have been carried out to find the suitable SOD-mimics to substitute it. In order to acts as SOD mimics, a compound should be non-toxic, stable, easy to reach i...
