Now days, turf management has encountered with water deficit, mostly due to low precipitation also industrial, agricultural and household demand and consumption. So, the objective of this project was to identify drought tolerance of warm and cool season turfgrass cultivars to different levels of regulated-deficit irrigation. The field experiment was set out in a split-plot based on completely r...

T FIRST fertilizer plats on this continent devoted to lawn grasses were started by the Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station. Sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda, alone and in combination, were used as the source of nitrogen. Superphosphate and muriate of potash were added to make a complete fertilizer. The plats were laid down in 1907 and were fertilized continuously until 1942, whe...

the use of such biostimulants as humic materials has recently become common in turf management operations. these products have been used to help the establishment of turfgrass and to enhance the turf stress tolerance capacity. this experiment was aimed at studying the effect of humic acid on some growth factors in turf grass. it was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design (r...

Ocean warming is altering the biogeographical distribution of marine organisms. In tropics, rising sea surface temperatures are restructuring coral reef communities with sensitive species being lost. At divide between temperate and tropical communities, causing macroalgal forest loss spread corals, fishes other species, termed “tropicalization”. A lack field research into combined effects ocean...

Phosphonate fungicides are used by golf course managers to control Pythium diseases, suppress anthracnose basal rot, alleviate summer stress, and improve turf quality. In many areas of the northeast, phosphonate products are applied at regular intervals throughout the summer as part of a fairway and putting green management program. Currently, over a dozen phosphonate fungicides and fertilizers...

IN August GOLFDOM I discussed the pros and cons of ammonium sulphate as a weed-control agent, while the importance of proper fertilization and management of turf were stressed in the September number from the weed control angle. While it is vital that the greenkeeper be thoroughly versed in both the theory and practice of the above phases of turf maintenance, nevertheless, in themselves, they d...

Turf is not a material frequently associated with construction. However, as cheap, easily available, and versatile it was used in antiquity (and has been various contexts since) to form unit-based mass walls, embankments, ramparts. Some of the best-preserved evidence for historical turf use comes from Roman period, when mainstay military construction, being widely forts (e.g. along Rhine Britai...

number of dead corms per plant by up to 93% and decreases living corm mass by up to 29% (Peters, 1958). Cultivated timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is an important grass for Harvesting frequently, up to three or four cuts per year, hay production in temperate North America. It is underutilized in and season-long competition in a timothy–alfalfa (Medmanagement-intensive rotational grazing systems be...
