Abstract/Contents:Focuses on five research projects conducted at North Carolina State University. The first looks at different syringing and hand watering rates used in order to supply ample water rates for bentgrass during the summer stress period. "The main focus of a master's thesis being pursued by Mr. Benny Bennett, Jr. is to determine if additional water applications by either syringing (a rate of 0.05 inch) or handwatering (a rate of 0.20 inch) contributed to enhanced summer survival by maintaining sufficient water balance within the plant. The objective is to deterimine if syringing or handwatering can prevent or correct a leaf water deficit under the extremes of environmental stress found in our area..." "A second project related to the one previously discussed involves a more in-depth analysis of the observations of the use of fungicide combinations to alleviate summer bentgrass decline problems..." "In an effort to better understand this interaction and determine the role the nutritional components are playing, Mr. Steve Dorer initiated an experiment this summer as part of his mater's degree research examining disease resistance and growth effects of the individual and combined nutrients in the fungicidal combination." The fourth research project, "... Is looking at the effect of adding humate as a soil amendment and fertilizer treatment during the establishment of turf on a USGA specification putting green." The final research project focuses on the release mechanisms for coated fertilizer products and the field versus greenhouse response. "...a study has been initiated by Mr. Matt Martin, a graduate student working under the supervision of Dr. Charles Peacock. This effort will document research techniques which can be used to compare release rates and coated product performance as well as turfgrass growth response to these materials. This effort will help better understand product performance and make recommendations for their use more meaningful."
