Book excerpt: Continuous discoveries in plant and crop physiology have resulted in an abundance of new information since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology. Following its predecessors, the fourth edition of this well-regarded handbook offers a unique, comprehensive, and complete collection of topics in the field of plant and crop physiology. Divided into eleven sections, for easy access of information, this edition contains more than 90 percent new material, substantial revisions, and two new sections. The handbook covers the physiology of plant and crop growth and development, cellular and molecular aspects, plant genetics and production processes. The book presents findings on plant and crop growth in response to climatic changes, and considers the potential for plants and crops adaptation, exploring the biotechnological aspects of plant and crop improvement. This content is used to plan, implement, and evaluate strategies for increasing plant growth and crop yield. Readers benefit from numerous tables, figures, case studies and illustrations, as well as thousands of index words, all of which increase the accessibility of the information contained in this important handbook. New to the Edition: Contains 37 new chapters and 13 extensively revised and expanded chapters from the third edition of this book. Includes new or modified sections on soil-plant-water-nutrients-microorganisms physiological relations; and on plant growth regulators, both promoters and inhibitors. Additional new and modified chapters cover the physiological responses of lower plants and vascular plants and crops to metal-based nanoparticles and agrichemicals; and the growth responses of plants and crops to climate change and environmental stresses. With contributions from 95 scientists from 20 countries, this book provides a comprehensive resource for research and for university courses, covering plant and crop physiological responses under normal and stressful conditions ranging from cellular aspects to whole plants.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stoloniferia) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa Pratensis L.) are two widely-used cool-season grasses grown extensively in northern regions of the United States. Creeping bentgrass is primarily used on golf courses, while Kentucky bluegrass has extensive uses in both home lawns and sports fields. Each of these areas of use are coming under increased scrutiny in regards to water management and conservation. Communities are increasingly putting greater restrictions on both the amount and type of water that can be used for irrigating golf courses, sports fields, and home lawns. The focus of our project was to develop a greater understanding of these grasses' water use, as a way to establish ideal water management practices. The field portion of the project focused on irrigation frequency as applied to three bentgrass species maintained as golf course fairways. Results suggested that reducing frequency and watering one or two times per week, while still replacing 100% of evapotranspiration (ET), produced equivalent, if not improved turf quality, and actually held water deeper in the soil profile, reducing evaporation losses to the atmosphere. In addition to the field portion of the project, experiments were conducted in growth chambers evaluating both creeping bentgrass and Kentucky bluegrass physiological responses to drought and summer stress. Specific findings suggested that exfoliar application of abscisic acid (ABA) or trinexapac-ethyl, a giberrelin inhibitor, significantly improved plant drought tolerance. Further research evaluated genotypic variation between varieties of these species, suggesting that both tolerance and avoidance traits are employed to protect plant physiological function under water deficit.

Download or read book Creeping Bentgrass Management written by Peter H. Dernoeden and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-07-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creeping Bentgrass Management presents a difficult management problem throughout the summer season. This complex dilemma is related to numerous and often interrelated factors such as: extreme air and soil temperatures, drought or excessively wet soils, dense thatch or organic mats, mechanical and other physical stresses, improper management practices, the misuse of chemicals, and other physical stresses. The goal of this useful manual--complete with helpful color photographs--is to give golf course superintendents practical tools to better understand the many stress factors that contribute to the creeping bentgrass decline complex. It will help you pinpoint problems, and implement cultural and chemical solutions to maintain the integrity of your course.

Download or read book Turfgrass Water Use and Growth Under Low Mowing Heights and Different Nitrogen Phosphorous and Drought Conditions written by Miyuan Xiao and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water use of low-cut turfgrass at different heights of cut (HOC) or different fertility levels is not known, and information on turfgrass performance during different water deficit conditions is limited. The effects of HOC (3 vs. 5 mm), nitrogen (N) levels prior to drought (0.8, 4.0, 8.0, and 16 g total N m-2 for 60 d), phosphorus (P) level (1.1 g total P m-2 vs. no P), and turfgrass variety ('L93' and 'Penncross' creeping bentgrasses, annual bluegrass, and 'SR7200' velvet bentgrass) under three drought conditions (no drought, periodic drought, and prolonged drought, including a drought recovery phase) on turfgrass growth, net carbon exchange rate (Pn rate), and root parameters were measured through three separate experiments. Real-time water consumption using mini-lysimeter load cell arrays under three drought conditions was also measured. The novel mini-lysimeters were able to detect weight changes of 20.3 cm2 pots containing grass at 1-min intervals, and evapotranspiration (ET) differences between treatments at 1-h intervals. The 5 mm HOC resulted in ~8% more water use than the 3 mm HOC for full cover turfgrass with sufficient irrigation. Turfgrass at 5 mm HOC had higher color ratings, Pn rate, and water use efficiency than turfgrass at 3 mm HOC at the beginning phase of drought. Higher HOC resulted in a faster decrease of hourly ET than lower HOC under drought conditions due to greater water consumption and lower water availability. The 8 g m-2 total N level resulted in better turf performance and more water use than lower N rates. However, 16 g m-2 total N did not improve turf growth from the 8 g m-2 total N level. Increasing N rates improved drought tolerance (measured through Pn rate) during drought and post-drought recovery periods. Turfgrass varieties respond differently to P levels under drought. Low P may improve drought tolerance for 'Penncross' creeping bentgrass, whereas high P may lead to better drought tolerance for 'SR7200' velvet bentgrass. These findings contribute to the understanding of turfgrass under periodic or prolonged drought conditions and could lead to the use of better predictive models for managing water use by turfgrass manager.
