according to high importance of sodding for fast creating green beds in all seasons, this experiment carried out with aimidentifying suitable substrate and covering plant including two lawn genus and dichondra with blend seed. the trial carried out as factorial experiment with three factors based on complete block design in three replications. experimental factors consisted of planting networks...

Biochars are produced by low-oxygen gasification or pyrolysis of organic waste products, and can be co-produced with energy, achieving waste diversion and delivering a soil amendment that can improve agricultural yields. Although many studies have reported the agronomic benefits of biochars produced from pyrolysis, few have interrogated the ability of gasified biochars to improve crop productiv...

This article provides information on the ecology of lawn communities in cities Urals Republic Bashkortostan (Ufa, Sterlitamak, Salavat, Ishimbay, Meleuz, Birsk, Neftekamsk, Yanaul). On basis 195 relevés, ecological regimes and their species were determined using scales Landolt. DCA ordination relevés confirmed floristic differentiation into 4 associations, 2 subassociations, 5 facies assigned t...

The life history of Puccinia striiformis remains a mystery because the alternate host has never been identified. Inoculation of grasses using aeciospores from naturally infected Berberis chinensis and B. koreana resulted in infection on Poa pratensis, producing uredinia typical of stripe rust caused by P. striiformis. Analyses using real-time polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequence confirmed...

Soil food webs comprise a multitude of trophic interactions that can affect the composition and productivity of plant communities. Belowground predators feeding on microbial grazers like Collembola could decelerate nutrient mineralization by reducing microbial turnover in the soil, which in turn could negatively influence plant growth. However, empirical evidences for the ecological significanc...

introduction: water is the main carrier of herbicides (hc) that its quality plays an important role in herbicide performance hard water has a high concentration of ca++ and mg++ and reviews have shown that calcium, manganese and zinc are the main factors reducing the effectiveness of weak acid herbicides. weak acid herbicides such as glyphosate, paraquat, clethodim and 2, 4 d are compounds that...

Anthracnose is a destructive disease of weakened or senescent turf caused by the fungus Colletotrichum cereale. The disease occurs throughout the world on almost all turfgrass species but is particularly severe on annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.). It has been suggested that management practices commonly employed on golf courses may be enhancing abiotic stress and thus predisposing turf to anthra...

Pratylenchus arlingtoni n. sp. from the rhizosphere of grasses Poa pratensis and Festuca arundinacea at Arlington National Cemetery, VA, USA is characterised by six to eight lines in the lateral Ž eld, and pyriform to slightly overlapping pharyngeal glands.Morphological comparisons are made with lesion nematodes having similar morphometrics, six lateral lines, or crenate tail tips. Molecular se...
