Perfect Planting with the Power of Perlite Whether you’re a home gardener, a commercial grower, a nursery operator, or anyone else that wants the absolute strongest, healthiest plants for their application, you know that health begins in the soil. In fact, poor plant growth and other plant health issues in everything from turf grass to vegetables can be caused by soil problems, including: ...
Three Dimensional Plastic Net Grid Mattress For Parking Zone Turf Management Extruded plastic mesh is tough and durable, suitable for making three dimensional reinforcement mesh in style of mats. This specially designed mattresses are used for reinforcing of turf and grasses. Three dimension vegetation net is a new-typed seed planting material with tridimensional structure, which can protect the ...
Keywords. landscape, microirrigation, turf, grass, uniformity Overview of Subsurface Drip Irrigation Systems The application of SDI on turfgrass requires placing drip emitters and drip lines in close proximity to provide a continuous wetted pattern throughout the turfgrass growing area. ...
Green Roofing – Synthetic or Natural Turf With limited space on campus, high schools and colleges are turning to synthetic turf rooftop sports surfaces to create multi-use green areas. Building a synthetic turf rooftop sports field with an AirField System provides drainage under 100% of the playing surface, prevents infill migration and ponding, and moves water efficiently for reuse ...
The application rate varies from 0 to 122 mm per month for banana and papaya, and 0 to 140 mm per month for bermuda turfgrass and giant bermuda pasture grass. The automated LDP reuse system is a flow-based managed System controlled by a central irrigation computer. ...

Major Roller Mowers ensure Blackpool Council delivers the best amenities for its residents to enjoy UK Local Authorities have faced austerity cuts for years. In spite of these challenges, Blackpool Council achieved national recognition for its local amenities: In 2019, Blackpool’s Stanley Park was awarded Best UK Park by Fields in Trust, a UK-wide charity that safeguards recreational ...
With irrigation being used in many spheres of life and food production methods getting diversified, it is not surprising that research on this topic is getting more specialized. Procedures for analysis, which were restricted earlier to big institutions, need to be widely available so that their reach is extended and science will benefit from more in-depth studies. An increasing number of ...
Currently, agriculture uses seventy percent of the freshwaters, globally. Available freshwater sources will not be enough to increase food production to feed growing populations in the coming decades. Therefore, there is a concerted effort to grow crops with seawater. Hence, scientists are investigating the various challenges involved in growing plants with saline water. These include greenhouse ...
Removal of 800 CY of trash and debris from a sinkhole in the golf course and fixing the issue by installing a trash collection structure. Over 2200 LF of Stream Restoration. Placement of over 500 Boulders ranging from 46″ x 36″ to 24″ x 12″ Boulders. This project also included the installation of over 2000 SY of Turf Sod and over 4000 SY of Turf Grass seeding. Over 150 Plantings including ...
Systemic neonicotinoid insecticides are used to control of turfgrass insect pests. We tested their transference into nectar of flowering lawn weeds or grass guttation droplets which, if high enough, could be hazardous to bees or other insects that feed on such exudates. ...
Richard is a happy man. He stands barefoot in the grass, watching his kids running around on his front lawn, chasing and falling all over each other like puppies. The only thing different in Richard’s front yard, compared to the other yards in his neighborhood, is that his is still green. While drought may have left the rest of the yards dry and brown, Richard’s lawn somehow manages ...
Sixteen of those 40 stations are county-based and will be largely used by turfgrass, grounds, and school IPM programs. "These are new audiences for NEWA," says Julie Carroll, a Cornell University fruit IPM specialist with the New York State IPM Program and a driving force behind NEWA's growth. ...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the applicability of treated wastewater for turfgrass and assess the effects of continuous use of treated water on the soil and crop. Two turfgrass plots irrigated with drinking water and treated wastewater were monitored over a two-year period. ...
A 3-yr study on a silt loam soil with 5% slope and high soil test P (27 mg kg–1 Bray P1) was conducted to evaluate P fertilization and clipping management effects on P runoff from turfgrass (Poa pratensis L.) under frozen and nonfrozen conditions. Four fertilizer treatments were compared: (i) no fertilizer, (ii) nitrogen (N)+potassium (K)+0xP, (iii) N+K+1xP, and (iv) N+K+3xP. ...
Nonnative cool-season turfgrasses are sometimes considered to be invasive species in restored prairies. ...
This concept is applied to management of complex turfgrass sites to improve irrigation practices. An experimental mobile unit mapped two golf fairways' turfgrass (Paspalum vaginatum SW.; ‘Salam’) in Naples, FL in summer 2006 on a 2.5 m grid for volumetric water content (VWC) by time-domain reflectrometry at field capacity and normalized difference vegetative ...
Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum Jol.) extract-based cytokinins (SWEC) have been used to improve turfgrass stress tolerance, but optimum dosages for improving creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) heat tolerance are lacking. ...
Since VC also provided the highest turfgrass quality, firmest surface, least mower scalping, and least localized dry spots (LDS), it proved to be the best cultural practice tested, particularly since HTA 3 times yr–1 increased saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), which reduced volumetric water content and increased LDS. ...
