USGA Summary Points: | Lowering soil temperature was an effective means of improving turf and root growth when air temperature was high. The effectiveness increased as soil temperature is reduced to a lower level, especially during the day. Night temperature reduction was more effective than day temperature reduction in alleviating heat stress injury. Root number declined earliest and at the lowest elevated soil temperature. Photosynthesis rate and root number may be useful for prediction of bentgrass decline. Also if turfgrass managers wait to see visual turfgrass quality rating decline before changing cultural practices, they wil be about 2-3 weeks late. These data indicate that photosynthesis declines after the least accumulated heat units, followed by root quality, chlorophyll content, and turfgrass quality, respectively. |
