| Abstract/Contents: | "The light requirement of a turfgrass is interrelated to many other environmental factors influencing plant growth. Investigating the minimum light threshold begins with isolating light as a variable keeping other factors consistent. The fraction of light used by plants is the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR). PAR is measured as Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) and is reported as micromoles per square meter per second (μmol m-2s-1) or mol per square meter per day (mol m-2d-1). The PPFD falling on a surface such as a leaf is the irradiance. As a point of reference, on a bright mid-summer California day, the peak PPFD at noon is about 1900 μmol m-2s-1 and the irradiance accumulated for the total daylight hours is about 50 mol m-2d-1. It was the objective of the following three studies to examine the irradiance threshold requirements for a blend of `Rugby' and `Classic' Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), `Manhattan II' perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), and `De Anza' zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.)." |
