| Abstract/Contents: | "Scientists at Rutgers University continue their research to identify factors affecting summer bentgrass decline. The goal is to use the results of these physiological studies to develop cultural management strategies to limit the quality decline of this important putting green species. Results to date include: Decreases in root growth and activities may lead to turf quality decline with increasing temperatures. Promoting extensive, healthy root systems is important for preventing or controlling summer turf quality decline in creeping bentgrass. Promoting carbohydrate production and reducing carbohydrate consumption may lead to increases in carbohydrate accumulation, which would help plants to survive hot summers. Low mowing height causes reduction in carbohydrate production, which contributes to a decline in turf quality and root growth during summer months." |
