| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential importance of nighttime temperatures to turfgrass health. Overviews potential diseases to be prepared for, depending on how high or low the nighttime temperature is. Explains that "warm nighttime temperatures increase the rate of respiration, and there is no photosynthesis occurring to compensate with more food. This can lead to energy deficits, which if prolonged can lead to poor rooting and eventually turfgrass death." Provides hypothetical graphs depicting energy produced and used at certain daytime and nighttime temperatures. Recommends steps to prevent summer stress syndrome which include raising the cutting heights, syringing the turf late in the morning, and ensuring proper drainage. |
