Abstract/Contents: | "Creeping bentgrass is often used in areas of the United States, such as the transition zone, that are outside the optimum temperature range for the species. Recent studies have shown that under high-temperature stress, the production of the plant stress hormone ethylene was increased in creeping bentgrass in a growth chamber. In addition, other stressors such as wounding have been shown to stimulate ethylene production in many plants. Tournament conditions in putting green management in places where high-temperature stress is prevalent may be some of the most stressful conditions for turf. During tournaments, mowing heights are lowered, mowing frequency increased, light weight rolling added, and irrigation reduced to produce hard and fast putting surfaces. However, these practices are detrimental to the overall quality of the turf and slow the recovery afterwards. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an ethylene-inhibiting compound, aminoethoxyvinylglycine hydrochloride, on reducing the effects of tournament conditions on turfgrass quality. No significant differences were noted across any treatments from applications of aminoethoxyvinylglycine hydrochloride or the untreated control for turfgrass quality, color, relative chlorophyll content, or tiller density. The lack of differences may be attributed to a cooling of temperatures over the evaluation period." |
