| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turfgrasses winterkill, citing "fungi...low temperature kill, toxic gases, and dessication" as potential causes. Explains that "wind moving across a living turf in frozen soil removes water vapor from the leaves...Overall, moisture lost from the leaves when the temperature is below 40° F [Fahrenheit] is significantly less than during warmer temperatures because the plants are not actively growing and use less moisture." Mentions potential solutions to winterkill, including topdressing and the use of a turf cover. Concludes that "heavy sand topdressing or synthetic turf covers can help prevent winter desiccation." |
