| Abstract/Contents: | "Winter injury encompasses a number of types and causes including desiccation, heaving, disease, direct low temperature kill and injury associated with ice and snow covers. Injury associated with ice and snow covers can be subdivided into oxygen suffocation or toxic accumulations under an ice sheet, leaching of vital cellular constituents when submerged in water during thaw, and direct low temperature injury to meristematic areas during spring freeze and thaw periods. The relative importance of these causal agents depends on the location, grass species, hardiness of the plant, severity and type of winter, and nutritional level at which the plant has been maintained. Significant variations in susceptibility to low temperature and ice cover injury have been shown between grass species and within the bluegrasses, bentgrasses and fescues. The hardiest species tested are the vegetative bentgrasses and roughstalk bluegrass. Our current state of knowledge suggests a need for more detailed studies concerning ice crystal formation in grass plants." |
