  • We investigated occurrence of yellow patch for early spring season of 48 cultivars in 5 species of turfgrass, most popularly used in Korea golf courses. Only yellow patch disease caused by Rhizoctonia cerealis was occurred naturally from late fall season. Perennial ryegrass and creeping bentgrass cultivars showed susceptibility from yellow patch in early spring, respectively. However, among There was no significantly different between the other species. Creeping bentgrass, 'Pennlinks II' cultivar was the most susceptible. Yellow patch symptom showed reddish brown with margins in color and patch showed size from 5 cm to 50 cm in diameter. Based on our results, Yellow patch showed large differences among cultivar and each turfgrass species.

  • The influence of calcium on the growth of creeping bentgrass 'Penn-Al', perennial ryegrass 'Palmer II', Kentuckuy bluegrass 'Nassou' and tall fescue 'Boonsai 2000' in greenhouse was investigated. Creeping bentgrass 'Penn-A1', Kentucky bluegrass 'Nassou' and tall fescue 'Boonsai 2000' at Ca 4.0 me/L, and perennial ryegrass 'Palmer II' at Ca 2.0 me/L showed the best shoot growth. Creeping bentgrass 'Penn-A1', perennial ryegrass 'Palmer II' and Kentucky bluegrass 'Nassou' at Ca 1.0 me/L, and tall fescue 'Boonsai 2000' at Ca 4.0 me/L showed the best root growth, and there was little or no difference between different Ca concentrations. Creeping bentgrass 'Penn-Al' and Kentucky bluegrass 'Nassou' at Ca 4.0 mea, and perennial ryegrass 'Palmer II' at Ca 1.0 me/L had the highest number of tillers, and tall fescue 'Boonsai 2000' at Ca 4.0 me/L had the highest, but there was no difference between different Ca concentrations. As application rate of Ca concentration became higher, the concent of Ca in plant tissue increased, while the content of Mg in plant tissue decreased, and the content of Fe in plant tissue increased to Ca 4.0 me/L. The Ca treatment had not effect on N, p, K, and Zn of tissue content. The wick pot applied will be to research of plant nutrition in future because utilization of wick pot has an excellent precision and convenience.

  • Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustrics Huds.) is cool season turfgrasse that is used for putting green in golf course. Creeping bentgrass cultivars are difficult to distinguish with the same species because of similar morphological characters and low level of genetic diversity. The SCAR markers using the specific DNA can be useful for differentiating between creeping bentgrass cultivars. Five RAPD primers were used for specific band detection among creeping bentgrass cultivars, penncross, penn A-4, crenshaw, L-93, CY-2, T-1. The pairs of SCAR primers for six cultivers were designed by the specific sequences of the bands that amplified by RAPD. Three of the six SCAR primers could not make the use as SCAR primers because the specific false bands were detected in all cultivars. The remaining pairs of SCAR primer, CY850F/R, T700F/R, L2900F/R, amplified the specific band at expected size for three cultivars, CY-2, T-1, L-93, respectively. The CY850F/R primer amplified a band of 850bp in CY-2 cultivar, the T700F/R primer amplified a band of 700bp in T-1 cultivar, and the L2900F/R primer amplified a band of 2.9kb in L-93 cultivar. In this study we developed the SCAR markers to identify and distinguish the inerseeded creeping bentgrass cultivars in a golf course green.

  • This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of bastnasite nitrate fertilizer (BNF) on the growth of creeping bentgrass. Fertilizer treatments were designed as follows; non-fertilizer (NF), control (CF; compound fertilizer), RE-l (CF+0.3 $g{\cdot}m^{-2}$BNF), RE-2 (CF+0.5 $g{\cdot}m^{-2}$BNF), RE-3 (CF+1.0 $g{\cdot}m^{-2}$BNF) and RE-4 (0.5 $g{\cdot}m^{-2}$BNF). Every treatment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In creeping bentgrass, turf qualities such as turf color index and chlorophyll index, shoot number, clipping dry weight and nutrients of tissue were measured. It was hardly affected by BNF application in investigation of chemical properties of the soil. By applying BNF, turf color index and chlorophyll index in RE-2 were increased 3.9% and 9.2% more than NF. As applied BNF on creeping bentgrass, shoot number was increased 9% in RE-4 more than NF and 22% in RE~2 more than CF. It was increased in N uptake and clipping dry weight of creeping bentgrass by supplying BNF. These results indicated that the BNF application promoted a turf qualities and a growth of creeping bentgrass by advancing N uptake and shoot number.

  • Creeping bentgrass (Agrosis stolonifera L.) is regarded to be the most widely used cool-season turf grass species grown on golf greens and fairways in temperate climates of North America. Creeping bentgrass is highly susceptible to the fungal disease 'dollar spot' caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa. Dollar spot is a foliar disease favored by conditions of high humidity, warm days, and cool nights. Studies using Aliette Signature (Fosetyl Aluminum formulated with a green pigment) mixed with another broad-spectrum fungicide do not always provide additional visual quality benefits compared to the fungicide alone. The exact mechanism for improved summer visual quality, when it occurs, is not known. Fertility management and environment likely contribute. The object of this study is to evaluate fungicide strategies for control of dollar spot and effect on visual quality during summer and on an L-93/G-2 creeping bentgrass green. Nine fungicide combinations were used for this study. Disease control and visual quality by fungicides was evaluated on an established G-2/L-93 creeping bentgrass green at 3-hole Sunshine Golf Course in Lemont, IL. All fungicide combination showed excellent dollar spot suppression except Fore throughout the study. Visual quality of greens by addition of Aliette Signature is enhanced when bentgrass growth is compromised and slow. Dollar spot levels in Fore plots increased to 30% on 14 August, and was no different than untreated plots. Unacceptable quality by Fore was due to lack of dollar spot control.

  • This experiment evaluates wintering ability to maintain green color of lawn grasses during winter and investigates the effects of top dressing of fertilizer on improving green color during regrowth. Kentucky blue-grass could maintain green color and leaf chlorophyll content better than tall fescue and creeping bentgrass in winter. All three grasses in this experiment have shown the excellent wintering ability. In enhancing the recovery of green color at the early stage of regrowth, the mulching effect with rice straw was highly significant for creeping bentgrass. Green color recovery in grasses during its regrowth was better at the top dressing plots than at the plots without top dressing, but when fertilizer application levels were increased, green color in lawn grass did not significantly change. Although green color in tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and Korean lawngrass could be maintained during summer, the green color of creeping bentgrass is reduced significantly with high temperature. Top dressing after winter and mowing improved leaf chlorophyll content and green color in tail fescue and Kentucky bluegrass significantly. However, Korean lawngrass did not respond significantly with increased levels of fertilizer.

  • This experiment was carried out in order to study the effect of nitrogen fertilization on the growth of Colonial bentgrass and thatch accumulation under no removing clipping residues. Nitrogen fertilization was applied as 4 levels, 10, 20, 25 and 20gN/m$^2$, respectively. The results were as follows : 1.Response of plant length and dry weight of thatch to N fertilization were significant differences between N levels. It suggested that N fertilization with no clipping residues greatly affected to the growth and thatch accumulation of colonial bentgrass.2.Plant length, the dry weight of clipping residues and coverage were obtained the highest values at 20g N. It was assumed that 20gN/m$^2$ is the limiting N level to obtain the favorable growth of Colonial bentgrass. 3.The dry weight of thatch and lignin content were increased with high nitrogen fertilization level. 4.The dry weight of thatch indicated positive significant correlation with lignin content. 5. The dry weight of thatch per N(THg/N) at 20g~25g/m$^2$ levels were obtained the lowest values than of other levels of N. It may be due to the stimulating of microbial activity by adequate to N fertilizers which increased mineralization of thatch.

  • Morphological characteristics and pathogenicity of Rhizoctonia species causing blight diseases of turfgrasses were studied. The species were identified as Rhizoctonia cerealis Van der Hoeven, R. oryzae Ryker et Gooch, and R. solani $K{\ddot{u}hn}$ based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Isolates of R. solani were assigned to anastomosis groups (AG) with cultural type 1 (1A), 2-2 (IIIB), and 2-2 (IV). R. cerealis, R. oryzae and R. solani induced sheath rot and foliar blight symptoms on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris) and zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica). Inoculation tests showed that disease severity with isolates of R. cerealis and R. oryzae were more serious to creeping bentgrass than zoysiagrass. AG 1(1A) isolates of R. solani were strongly pathogenic on creeping bentgrass, but moderate to zoysiagrass. AG 2-2 (III) isolates were moderately pathogenic to zoysiagrass, but weakly to creeping bentgrass. AG 2-2 (IV) isolates from zoysiagrass were moderately pathogenic to zoysiagrass, but weakly to creeping bentgrass.

  • This study was conducted to investigate nutrient content at shoot and root(contained runner in zoysiagrass) in creeping bentgrass, kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass before turfgrass dormancy. The shoot ratio of dry weight in creeping bentgrass, kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass was 12%, 27% and 25% and root ratio was 88%, 73% and 75%, respectively. The orders of nutrients contained in turf-grass were N>K>Ca>P>Mg>Na in plant tissues. The proportion of nutrients in tissue of creeping bentgrass, kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass was 17%, 28% and 34% in shoot and 83%, 72% and 66% in root, respectively. These results showed that nutrients in turf-grass tissue was contained more than 70% in root before grasses dormancy. In turf grass management, all grasses were required to fertilize sufficiently N, $K_2O$, CaO and $P_2O_5$ before winter.
