Unless you have had your head stuck in the sand for the past year, you should be aware that the Environmental Protection Agency is in the final stages of reviewing the registration of the oiganophosphate nematicide fenamiphos (Nemacur). In fact by the time you read this, the decision probably will have been made. Over the past year, the Bayer Corporation, the FGCSA, the state of Florida and the...

R field experiments with one of the synthetic plant hormones of growth regulators, conducted by the USGA Green Section in collaboration with the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Dept. of Agriculture, have shown striking promise for the effectiveness of this group of chemicals in the control of clover and some of our more serious turf weeds. The application of aqueous sprays containing a spreader...

Excavation of a well-preserved stretch the rampart Antonine Wall east Watling Lodge, at Laurieston, allowed for first micromorphological study its earthen building materials. This revealed that core, as well cheeks, were constructed in layered courses turf blocks – but sourced from different grasslands. The evidence differs macroscopic observations made other sections this area where material h...

turfgrass species throughout the world, but is particularly severe on weakened or senescent annual blue­ grass (Poa annua L.) turf. Anthracnose is caused by the fungus Colletotrichum cereale (Manns, Crouch, Clarke, and Hillman), which persists in turf as a saprophyte in thatch or infected plant material. Typically, the fungus can become pathogenic and infect leaf, stem, or root tissue when an e...

Foot and ankle injuries are commonplace in competitive sports. Improvements in injury surveillance programs and injury reporting have enabled physicians to better recognize and manage specific foot and ankle injuries, with a primary goal of efficient and safe return to play. Athletes are becoming stronger, faster, and better conditioned, and higher-energy injuries are becoming increasingly comm...

Over the past few decades, radiology as a specialty has seen tremendous growth, which has been accompanied by encroachment on imaging modalities by nonradiologists. Various specialists have been competing with radiologists for imaging and interventional procedures related to their specialties, and in few cases have completely taken over the imaging and interventions. These turf wars have led to...

water salinity and drought are the major abiotic stresses limiting turf grass growth. on the other hand, shortage of waterresources and salinity of water and soil in the arid and semi-arid zones such as iran, are the restricting factors in developinglawn turf grasses. an experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of water salinity and deficit irrigation ontall fescue (festuca aru...
