The addition of synthetic fibers to natural grass athletic fields forms a hybrid turf system, and this system claims increase traffic tolerance playability. objectives research were evaluate the physical effects simulated on two hybrid, carpet-based mat systems (Eclipse Hero) with Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), compared non-hybrid control (100% bluegrass). Field was conducted in 2018 at...

Pooideae species. While for several species the most important allergens (group 1 and group 5) have been identified, other allergens have either not been identified or sequence data are still missing. We have used mass spectrometry (MS) together with genetic and immunological methods to identify allergens in various grass pollen extracts. Methods: Pollen extracts of 6 different grass species (P...

As average global temperatures rise, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. × transvaalensis Burtt Davy (triploid interspecific hybrid bermudagrass; HBG) may be increasingly suited for traditionally cooler climates where Poa pratensis L. (Kentucky bluegrass; KB) is common. The objective of this study to evaluate growth two HBG cultivars (‘DT-1’ and ‘NorthBridge Turf Bermudagrass’) compared with KB in all ...

We provide an updated checklist and key to the 30 Poa species with open panicles from Peru which includes previously circumscribed Dissanthelium and Aphanelytrum species, new taxon records, and three undescribed species. Poa compressa, Poa grisebachii, and Poa leioclada are recorded from Peru for the first time. A number of species are placed in synonymy: Poa carazensis, Poa ferreyrae and Poa t...
