| Abstract/Contents: | SUMMARY: "Knowledge of the natural variation in heat tolerance of a turfgrass during its growing season is necessary if management strateegies are to be developed that will increase its heat tolerance. Toward that end, University of Maryland scientists evaluated the heat tolerance of 'Adelphi' Kentucky bluegrass fertilized at two different nitrogen levels and determined the effect of post-stress environment on its recovery from heat stress. Field-grown plants were exposed to heat stress on eleven dates over two growing seasons by immersion in a water bath for 30 minutes at 42, 44 or 46 C and then placed in a greenhouse or one of two growth chamber environments (35/22 or 22/15 C day/night temperatures) for a two-week recovery period. The dry weight of the stressed plants, expressed as a percentage of the controls (recovery weight), was used as a measure of heat tolerance. Heat tolerance increased from May to July and then decreased from August to October. A significant relationship existed between heat tolerance, day length, and average low temperature for the sampling dates, the Maryland researchers report. Recovery weights for plants in the greenhouse did not differ significantly from those for plants in either of the other two recovery environments on ten of the eleven sampling dates." |
