Abstract/Contents:"Heat stress is a major factor in the decline of bentgrass golf greens during hot and humid weather. Many factors are involved including temperature, metabolism, environmental factors, soil conditions and diseases. Bentgrass does not grow when temperatures are above 90 degrees and root growth ceases at 77 degrees. The photorespiration process of metabolism is less efficient at higher temperatures resulting in weaker plants that decline and do not recover from stresses and diseases during hot weather. Wet soil conditions result in low oxygen levels and encourage the development of diseases. Diseases such as Pythium root rot and brown [patch] have been shown to be involved in the summer decline of bentgrass. Modification of environmental conditions around greens and management practices have helped bentgrass to tolerate summer stress conditions. A fungicide program that includes Aliette plus Fore or Aliette plus Daconil has helped to manage summer decline of bentgrass in hot and humid regions in the country."
