Dead spot is a relatively new disease of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) incited by Ophiosphaerella agrostis Dernoeden, M.P.S. Câmara N.R. O’Neill van Berkum et M.E. Palm. Limited information is available with regards to chemical and cultural management strategies for dead spot. Two field studies were designed to evaluate the influence of various fertilizers and iprodione on the re...

A high content of heavy metals in the soil and plants a magnesite mining area might cause serious damage to environment can be threat health surrounding population. This paper presents results research that focused on analyzing metal dumping grounds factory Jelšava-Lubeník (Slovakia). The analysis (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry), (inductively coupled plasma mas...

Abstract Turfgrass with sand‐based root zones, such as golf course putting greens, are highly important economically and require intense management. However, problems often associated low nutrient retention limited microbial activity. Soil additives may increase soil biological activity, improve nitrogen (N) cycling efficiency, thus reduce fertilizer N inputs. A 2‐yr experiment was conducted on...

Heat stress-induced or stress-accelerated leaf senescence is related to the accumulation of ethylene and loss chlorophyll in cool-season grass species. The objective this study was determine whether foliar-spraying inhibitor, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), may suppress heat-induced through effects on synthesis degrading enzymes creeping bentgrass ( Agrostis stolonifera ). Plants were maintained...

Tissue nitrogen content is an important indicator of N removal in clippings from putting greens. To help managers determine the average tissue content, a better understanding factors controlling turfgrass needed. This study aimed to quantify how different application rates, foot traffic intensities, soil volumetric water (VWC), and weather influence creeping bentgrass ‘Focus’ (Agrostis stolonif...

Mining activities, ore concentrations, and transport processes generate large amounts of pollutants, including hazardous elements, which are released into the environment. This work presents results experimental research aimed at evaluating environmental risks soil plant contamination in two magnesite mining processing areas Slovak Republic, assesses phytoremediation potential dominant species....

Seed mixtures with a nurse grass that germinates quickly at low soil temperatures can be an option for faster establishment of Agrostis stolonifera (AS) putting greens after winter damage. From 2015 to 2018 Poa trivialis (PT) ‘Dark Horse’ and Lolium perenne (LP) ‘Chardin’ were evaluated as grasses in comparison pure AS ‘Independence’ two experimental sites each the major climatic zones Nordic c...
