The nutrient treatment levels did not seem to vary the temperature range required for killing the grass over the range of 1 to 3 C. Within this range, the P/K ratio in the tissue appeared to influence cold hardin ...

Because a large proportion of this gopher's current range occurs on US Navy (hereafter, Navy) property, active man ...

In May 2014, 11 sandy soil samples were collected at a depth of about 5 to 15 cm from a golf course community in Wilmington, NC, composed of Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) from the fairway, St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) from the lawn, and Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica) from the tee, all of which showed spotted yellowing and necrosis. Plant-parasitic nematodes were extracted from soi ...

Historical overgrazing of South Texas rangelands transformed the savanna and prairie to a landscape dominated by woody plants and shrubs interspersed with low seral grass species and bare ground. During the first half of the 20th century, exotic grass species, co ...
