| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses management of "cool-season grasses during summer." States that "turf quality decline of cool-season grasses...is a major problem in turfgrass management in the transitional and warm climatic regions." Reports that "high temperature is a major stress-causing summer quality decline." Mentions that "heat injury in plants resulting from either high air temperature or soil temperature involves many physiological and morphological changes." Lists factors that control leaf water status: transpiration, water transport, and water uptake. States that "high temperature interrupts the water balance between shoots and roots by enhancing transpirational demand of leaves and inhibiting water uptake of roots." Suggests maintenance practices that may help reduce turf quality decline, stating that "cultural practices, including irrigation and mowing, imposed prior to or during the summer stress period influence turf summer performance." Concludes that "infrequent irrigation during spring and fall promotes deep rooting...[and] mowing at the highest acceptable height in midsummer will maintain the needed balance between food production and consumption and, thus, promote healthy, vigorous turf." |
