Chemical and Cultural Controls for Moss, Bryum argenteum on Putting Greens
نویسندگان
چکیده
• Some treatments which were reported to control moss at other locations (Ferrous sulfate, Ultra Dawn, Subdue 2E mixtures) had no effect on moss populations in this trial. This may be due to the fact that all treatments were made using broadcast applications (2 4 gallons spray solution/1000 sq ft), rather than spot treatments. In a follow up trial investigating the use of Ultra Dawn applied as a spot treatment, drench-type applications (4 oz/gallon UltraDawn, applied in 80 gallons spray solution/1000 sq ft) were found to be extremely effective for control of moss.

Moss Control in Creeping Bentgrass Putting Greens
Moss (Bryum argenteum) continues to become one of the most problematic weeds in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris) putting greens. Control of moss can be approached in many different ways, including chemical applications, and cultural practices such as correcting shading or poor drainage. A study was conducted at Springdale Country Club (Springdale, Ark.) to evaluate the effectiveness of s...
متن کاملMolecular support for Pleistocene persistence of the continental Antarctic moss Bryum argenteum
We examined sequence variation of ITS and phy2 for Bryum argenteum from Antarctica, sub-Antarctic, New Zealand and Australia to understand better taxonomic delimitations and resolve relationships between these geographic regions. Bryum argenteum has been recorded as two species, B. argenteum and B. subrotundifolium, in all four regions with the latter now referred to as B. argenteum var. muticu...
متن کاملElevational patterns of genetic variation in the cosmopolitan moss Bryum argenteum (Bryaceae).
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY The Baas Becking tenet posits that 'everything is everywhere, but the environment selects' to explain cosmopolitan distributions in highly vagile taxa. Bryophyte species show wider distributions than vascular plants and include examples of truly cosmopolitan ranges, which have been interpreted as a result of high dispersal capacities and ecological plasticity....
متن کاملThe moss Bryum argenteum var . muticum Brid . is well adapted to cope with high light in continental Antarctica
The net photosynthetic rate (NP), chlorophyll fluorescence, carotenoid content and chlorophyll content of the cosmopolitan moss Bryum argenteum were measured in the field at Botany Bay, southern Victoria Land, continental Antarctica (778S). Comparisons were made between sunand shade-adapted forms, and changes were followed as the moss emerged from under the snow and during exposure of shade and...
متن کاملManagement of Take-all Patch of Creeping Bentgrass on Greens Constructed to USGA Specifications
Rationale Take-all patch, caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis f. sp. avenae, is favored by alkaline soils. Because the calcareous sands used for putting greens in the Midwest have a high pH, bentgrass greens constructed with high sand content or to USGA specifications are especially prone to the disease. Previous research addressed take-all patch on established bentgrass greens and fairways with ...
