Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the issue of low-temperature kill hardiness in turfgrass. States that "the hardiness of turfgrasses to low-temperature kill involves the ability of a plant to survive potentially lethal low-temperature stress at temperatures below 32°F (0°C)." Lists some environmental factors contributing to low-temperature hardiness, including poorly drained soils, high sunlight or irradiance and accelerated shoot growth. Presents a table rating various cultivars for low-temperature kill hardiness. |
