“…Unfortunately, the SG in the third year was not collected due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in the spring of 2020. The winter desiccation of plant tissues, particularly the crown, has often been attributed to increased turfgrass winterkill (Beard, 1973). Localized dry spot on sand-based putting greens during the late fall has also been reported as increasing winterkill or delaying SG (Deboer et al, 2019(Deboer et al, , 2020.…”

“…transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy] has a dense canopy, fast establishment rate, drought resistance, exceptional recuperative capacity, and excellent tolerance to heat and wear stresses. These desirable traits make turf‐type bermudagrasses the most widely used species on athletic fields, golf courses, residential lawns, and recreation parks in the US southern and transition zones (Beard, 1973; Taliaferro, Rouquette, et al., 2004). Bermudagrass is a subtropical species and can be susceptible to winterkill in the transition zone climate (Taliaferro, Rouquette, et al., 2004).…”

Effect of antecedent drought stress on spring green‐up in turf‐type bermudagrasses

Winterkill is a major concern for turf‐type bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. and C. dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy] when cultivated in the US transition zone and frequently occurring drought conditions challenge bermudagrass management. Therefore, developing new bermudagrasses with both drought resistance and winter survivability are needed for the future sustainability of the turfgrass industry in the transition zone. How these two traits interact within bermudagrass populations is not widely reported. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to estimate reliability for spring green‐up (SG) (as an indicator of winter survivability) and drought response in turf‐type bermudagrasses. A total of 77 experimental genotypes and 7 cultivars were planted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications over 2 years in Goodwell, OK, USA. Substantial genetic variations were found for drought response and SG parameters when analyzed by year, but variations for SG parameters and leaf firing were not significant when analyzed across years. The reliability estimates for drought response ranged from low to moderate (i2 = 0.24–0.61), whereas the subsequent estimates for SG were low (i2 = 0.13–0.33), suggesting poor reliability. The low‐to‐moderate reliability values in SG were likely due to antecedent drought injuries, indicating that winter survivability and drought resistance may need to be evaluated in separate trials.

“…Turfgrass has many positive environmental impacts, including reducing temperatures in a given area [ 4 ], energy use reduction [ 5 , 6 ], potential phytoremediation uses [ 7 , 8 , 9 ], and erosion control [ 10 , 11 ]. It has also been shown that greenscapes such as turf can reduce stress and increase cognitive capabilities [ 12 , 13 ]. These benefits contribute to why turf is so widely grown, with rapid increase in use around the world [ 1 ].…”

Turfgrass is a multibillion-dollar industry severely affected by plant pathogens including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. Many of the diseases in turfgrass have similar signs and symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose the specific problem pathogen. Incorrect diagnosis leads to the delay of treatment and excessive use of chemicals. To effectively control these diseases, it is important to have rapid and accurate detection systems in the early stages of infection that harbor relatively low pathogen populations. There are many methods for diagnosing pathogens on turfgrass. Traditional methods include symptoms, morphology, and microscopy identification. These have been followed by nucleic acid detection and onsite detection techniques. Many of these methods allow for rapid diagnosis, some even within the field without much expertise. There are several methods that have great potential, such as high-throughput sequencing and remote sensing. Utilization of these techniques for disease diagnosis allows for faster and accurate disease diagnosis and a reduction in damage and cost of control. Understanding of each of these techniques can allow researchers to select which method is best suited for their pathogen of interest. The objective of this article is to provide an overview of the turfgrass diagnostics efforts used and highlight prospects for disease detection.

“…Golf course greens typically are designed to be highly permeable to water. The average‐sized golf course is approximately 73 acres (30 ha), with about 3% of this area managed as putting greens and teeing areas 6. When planted with bentgrass, golf course greens designed to US Golf Association specifications are comprised of 90% sand with 10% peat on a gravel base 7.…”

Chlorothalonil and chlorpyrifos degradation products in golf course leachate

Chlorothalonil and chlorpyrifos are commonly used to control disease and insect pests on golf course greens. While they are relatively immobile in the soil profile, their respective soil degradation products, 4-hydroxy-2,5,6-trichloroisophthalonitrile and 3,5,6-trichloropyridin-2-ol are more polar and may be present in golf course green leachate. To investigate this possibility, six stainless steel lysimeters were constructed into two practice greens at a country club in a northern Atlanta, Georgia suburb. Over a period of 1 year after rainfall events, lysimeter leachate samples were collected into glass bottles, filtered and directly analyzed by HPLC with UV detection. Chlorpyrifos was not detected in any sample and chlorothalonil was detected only in one sample, at a concentration of 0.12 mg liter-1. With a limit of quantitation of 0.05 mg liter-1, hydroxychlorothalonil and trichloropyridinol were detected in 87% and 63% of the samples at maximum and median concentrations of 2.21 and 0.55 mg liter-1 for hydroxychlorothalonil and 1.77 and 0.15 mg liter-1 for trichloropyridinol. Golf course green leachate often mixes with surface water, thus more data may be warranted to determine the persistence and ecological significance of chronic exposure to these compounds of organisms in the aquatic environment.
