| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses research efforts aimed at increasing shade tolerance in turfgrass, stating that "improving shade tolerance is a top priority for turfgrass management on the golf course, in sport arenas, and in the landscape." Explains that "due to reduced photosynthesis under shaded conditions, carbohydrates essential for growth and health of turfgrasses can become limiting." Highlights research conducted at Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, Michigan, suggesting "the fructose applications may reduce the negative impact of shade on turfgrass quality by supplementing sugars produced naturally during the photosynthetic process." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "after establishment, modules were moved from full sun conditions to an enclosed, shaded, simulated athletic research facility (The Dome) and grown from August through December 15, 2002." Reports that "preliminary results suggest that all species/cultivars, except Bermudagrass, responded most favorably to weekly application of fructose and Primo®." |
