Book excerpt: Sustainability is a key framework for analyzing biological systems—and turfgrass is no exception. It is part of a complex that encompasses turfgrass interactions with different environments and the suitability of different turfgrasses for specific environments. In addition to its biological role, turfgrass—in the form of lawns, green spaces, and playing surfaces—brings beneficial sociological effects to an increasingly urbanized society. This book presents a comprehensive overview of current knowledge and issues in the field of turfgrass research and management, including the genetics and breeding, the diseases and pests, and the ecology of turfgrasses, and will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.

Download or read book Using Elemental Sulfur to Optimize lower Soil Ph of Bentgrass Putting Greens written by Derek Pruyne and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil pH highly influences nutrient availability and root growth during both establishment and maintenance of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) putting greens (PGs). The optimal 1:1 soil pH range for creeping bentgrass is 5.5--6.5, yet PG rootzones containing even modest amounts of calcareous sand are often buffered to higher pH values. Furthermore, topdressing sand and/or irrigation water inputs are common sources of added alkalinity. Supraoptimal pH levels have been shown to increase turfgrass disease susceptibility while limiting nutrient availability, root growth, and stress tolerance. The objective of this research was to quantify growth and nutritional status responses of bentgrass PGs to method and/or rate of a single elemental sulfur (So) application. In Sept. 2012, pelletized or flowable So was applied to two internally-drained Penn A-series PGs at rates of 0, 195, 390, 586 kg So ha--1 (0, 4, 8, or 12 lbs So 1000 ft2). Response variables measured over the 2013 season were: clipping yield, canopy color and density, soil pH (by 3 rootzone depth segments), soil extractable nutrients, leaf nutrient content, specific root length, and root length density. Soil pH reductions observed within the surface 5-cm and 5 to 15-cm rootzone depths were highly correlated to So rate. Other response variables significantly influenced by linear So rate include leaf nutrient concentrations (Ca, K, Mg, S, Cu, and Fe) and canopy density. While canopy color, determined by dark green color index (DGCI), was not influenced by linear So rate, there was a significant effect of application method. Several of the described experimental variables measured proved statistically significant; however, observed differences were often marginal. Nutrient levels of all treated and untreated plots remained within the sufficiency range of creeping bentgrass. The most notable nutritional difference was that of leaf Mn concentrations. Mean leaf Mn increased approximately 20-40% in treated plots. Despite frequent visual inspection of the sand rootzone in the months following application, no evidence of black layer (precipitated manganous- or ferrous-sulfide) was observed.

Download or read book Best Management Practices for Saline and Sodic Turfgrass Soils written by Robert N. Carrow and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex issues involved in the management of saline and sodic turfgrass soils are enough to perplex even the most experienced site manager — there is no "silver bullet" amendment, treatment, or grass for salinity management. Best Management Practices for Saline and Sodic Turfgrass Soils: Assessment and Reclamation presents comprehensive scientific principles and detailed, practical management and assessment recommendations for turfgrass and landscape sites. The authors use the Best Management Practices (BMPs) concept, considered the gold-standard management approach for any individual environmental issue, since it is a whole ecosystem (holistic), science-based salinity management approach that allows all possible management options to be considered and implemented on a site-specific basis. They identify BMP strategies, including irrigation system design; irrigation scheduling and salinity leaching; chemical, physical, and biological amendments; cultivation; topdressing; soil modification; sand-capping; surface and subsurface drainage options; nutritional practices; additional cultural practices; and ongoing monitoring. The book presents emerging challenges, technology, and concepts that address integration of salinity management into comprehensive site environmental or sustainable management systems, use of halophytic turfgrasses for non-traditional purposes, integration of geospatial and geostatistical concepts and technology, and integration of new sensor technology into daily management paradigms. Outlining a holistic BMP approach, the book incorporates scientific principles and practical management recommendations and details specific salinity challenges and the logic behind each BMP strategy for salinity management, with an emphasis on actual field problems. The book is formatted for flexible use, with stand-alone chapters that include outlines for quick review of a topic for those requiring only a basic understanding as well as in-depth discussions of the science and practical aspects for those seeking a more rigorous treatment. It supplies a single source for all the information required to identify and manage diverse types of salinity stresses.
