| Abstract/Contents: | "Seasonal rooting investigations utilizing a rhizotron containing a subterranean chamber with 24 glass-faced root observation boxes positioned on each side resulted in the discovery of the spring root decline (SRD) phenomenon. Subsequently, SRD was documented to occur on eight major C-4 warm season turfgrass species utilized for turfgrass purposes. SRD occurred in 4 of the 8 years of observation at College Station, Texas, when soil temperatures at 10 cm depth rose to 17 C. In those years when SRD was not observed, shoot growth during the initial one to two spring months was extremely slow due to cool soil temperatures. Subsequently, the SRD phenomenon was duplicated utilizing cold stress simulation chambers for the respective chilling and spring greenup phases. These experiments were conducted in replicated, portable, glass-faced root observation boxes placed in growth chambers at 24 C and 32 C. Spring root decline only occurred at the higher temperature, indicating that the rate of temperature rise subsequent to spring greenup is an important factor in determining whether SRD actually occurs." |
