Now days, turf management has encountered with water deficit, mostly due to low precipitation also industrial, agricultural and household demand and consumption. So, the objective of this project was to identify drought tolerance of warm and cool season turfgrass cultivars to different levels of regulated-deficit irrigation. The field experiment was set out in a split-plot based on completely r...

The market for turf-type perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) continues to grow with over $70 million in seed sales in 1994. Breeders in private companies are capitalizing on this increasing ryegrass popularity by continuing to make improvements in turf quality traits such as color, density, texture, mowability and disease resistance. However, all current improved turf-type cultivars do not have...

Runoff from turf environments, such as golf courses, is of increasing concern due to the associated chemical contamination of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and ground water. Pesticide runoff due to fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides used to maintain golf courses in acceptable playing condition is a particular concern. One possible approach to mitigate such contamination is through the implem...

the use of such biostimulants as humic materials has recently become common in turf management operations. these products have been used to help the establishment of turfgrass and to enhance the turf stress tolerance capacity. this experiment was aimed at studying the effect of humic acid on some growth factors in turf grass. it was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design (r...

number of dead corms per plant by up to 93% and decreases living corm mass by up to 29% (Peters, 1958). Cultivated timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is an important grass for Harvesting frequently, up to three or four cuts per year, hay production in temperate North America. It is underutilized in and season-long competition in a timothy–alfalfa (Medmanagement-intensive rotational grazing systems be...

Cyperus rotundus Linn. (Family: Cyperaceae), commonly known as Motha is a turf grass which grows everywhere including lawns . It has wide range of medicinal and pharmacological applications. It is used in traditional system of medicine and exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, antipyretic, analgesic, antidiabetic, antidiarrhoeal, cytoprotective, antmutagenic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, c...

In an effort to reduce golf turf damage the traditional metal spike golf shoe has been redesigned, but shoe-ground biomechanical evaluations have utilised artificial grass surfaces. Twenty-four golfers wore three different golf shoe traction designs (traditional metal spikes, alternative spikes, and a flat-soled shoe with no additional traction) when performing shots with a driver, 3 iron and 7...
