Responses of Creeping Bentgrass to Trinexapac-ethyl and Biostimulants under Summer Stress

Evaluation of Cytokinian Plant Extract Biostimulants, Iron, and Nitrogen Products for Their Effects on Creeping Bentgrass Summer Quality

Creeping Bentgrass Cultivar Influences Biocontrol

Printed on recycled paper SUMMER 2001 24 A Healthy Ecosystem Inconsistent performance of biological control strategies for turfgrass disease control has limited the adoption of this technology into IPM programs. A major contributing factor to this variable performance in agricultural systems is the cultivar to which biological control organisms are applied. In a recent study, our goal was to de...

Creeping Bentgrass Ultra-sensitive to Atrazine

In one of the few studies of its kind, Cornell researchers Eric Nelson and Cheryl Craft (Dept. Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) report the successful suppression of dollar spot in both preventative and curative applications by a biological control agent, the bacteria Enterobacter cloacae, in field experiments on putting greens in New York. While laboratory and greenhou...

Spatial and temporal distribution of fungicides applied to creeping bentgrass.

Turf managers often rely on fungicides to limit damage caused by root diseases. Because fungicides are applied to aboveground surfaces and do not move basipetally, they are effective against root pathogens only when fungitoxic concentrations migrate to the rhizosphere. This research focused on the distribution of modern fungicides in verdure, thatch, sand, and roots of creeping bentgrass [ L. v...

Transcriptome analysis of creeping bentgrass exposed to drought stress and polyamine treatment

Creeping bentgrass is an important cool-season turfgrass species sensitive to drought. Treatment with polyamines (PAs) has been shown to improve drought tolerance; however, the mechanism is not yet fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate transcriptome changes of creeping bentgrass in response to drought and exogenous spermidine (Spd) application using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq)....
