The antioxidant properties of Galium verum L. (Lady’s Bedstraw) and Tragopogon pratensis subsp. pratensis (Goat’s beard) methanol extracts, from localities in Serbia were evaluated, through determination of total phenolics and flavonoids content, as well as DPPH • (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, ABTS •+ (2,2-azinobis-(3ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation deco...

Abstract Households intensively manage lawns to create uniformly green, low diversity plant communities. Because occupy a large proportion of urban green space, they are crucial case for understanding how people manipulate vegetation. In this study, I focused on 58 homeowners who purchased newly constructed home and yard in the Seattle Metropolitan Statistical Area, USA, see preferences, lawn c...

Mutual relationship between endophytic fungi and some gramineuos plants is one of the recently known host-microbe interactions. Endophytic fungi are classified in class Ascomycetes, order Hypocreales, tribe Balansieae and mostly genus Neotyphodium. They are transferred into the progeny via maternal stock and have many benificial effects to their host plants, such as resistance to pests and dise...

A study of the leaf anatomy in the species of the genus Festuca present in the Iberian Peninsula was made. A total of 68 taxa were included and 15 characters were measured in leaf cross-section. The major anatomical features of each taxonomic group were characterized, and some variability was observed in the taxa. The anatomical patterns observed were compared and discussed with the relationshi...

Interest in low-input alternative fairway turfs has increased because of restrictions. This study compared the volumetric soil water content (VSWC) and turf quality five under reduced irrigation low nitrogen. The main plots were ‘Epic’ strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra ssp. L., SCRF), ‘Vesper’ velvet bentgrass (Agrostis canina VBG), ‘Shark’ stolonifera CBG), ‘Diva’ Kentucky bluegrass (P...

Abstract The lack of turfgrass diversity in cool‐season sod production is related to information inefficiencies, such as the agronomic available on improved, low‐input species, fine fescues ( Festuca spp.). Collaborative research between Purdue University and Minnesota investigated influence species mixtures harvest (production strength) storage limitations sod. Field experiments were establish...
