Release Of Ksuz 0802 Zoysiagrass, J. Fry, Ambika Chandra
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A new zoysiagrass cultivar, under the experimental designation KSUZ 0802, was released jointly by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station and Texas A&M AgriLife Research in 2015.
2012 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Tall Fescue Test: 2015 Data, L. Parsons, M. Kennelly, J. Griffin, J. Hoyle
2012 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Tall Fescue Test: 2015 Data, L. Parsons, M. Kennelly, J. Griffin, J. Hoyle
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A number of the cultivars included in the 2012 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Tall Fescue Test performed well and showed good brown patch resistance in southern Kansas during the 2015 growing season.
Late Pre-Emergent Control Of Annual Bluegrass With Flazasulfuron & Indaziflam, J. Reeves, J. Hoyle
Late Pre-Emergent Control Of Annual Bluegrass With Flazasulfuron & Indaziflam, J. Reeves, J. Hoyle
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
All applications of flazasulfuron or indaziflam resulted in acceptable control of Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua), only allowing <3% visual weed cover (VWC) in all treatments compared to the non-treated (26% VWC) up to 133 days after application (DAA).
Evaluating The Effects Of Simulated Golf Cart Traffic On Dormant Buffalograss And Turfgrass Colorants, E. Alderman, J. Hoyle, J. Fry, S. Keeley
Evaluating The Effects Of Simulated Golf Cart Traffic On Dormant Buffalograss And Turfgrass Colorants, E. Alderman, J. Hoyle, J. Fry, S. Keeley
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Percent green cover will ultimately decrease over time when traffic is applied to dormant buffalograss with turfgrass colorants. Data suggests that an additional five weeks of acceptable green cover can be achieved under high traffic situations when Endurant Premium is applied to dormant turf.
Preventative Control Of Brown Patch With Select Fungicides, E. Alderman, J. Reeves, J. Hoyle
Preventative Control Of Brown Patch With Select Fungicides, E. Alderman, J. Reeves, J. Hoyle
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Preventative applications of Velista and Heritage Action fungicides will decrease the percentage of brown patch observed in a perennial stand of tall fescue.
Evaluating Zoysiagrass-Tall Fescue Mixtures In Kansas, Mingying Xiang, J. Fry, M. Kennelly
Evaluating Zoysiagrass-Tall Fescue Mixtures In Kansas, Mingying Xiang, J. Fry, M. Kennelly
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Seeding zoysiagrass at 1 lb PLS/1,000 sq ft in June with subsequent seeding of tall fescue into established zoysiagrass in September at 8 lbs PLS/1,000 sq ft resulted in the best mixture of these two species.
Influence Of Glyphosate Timings On Conversion Of Golf Course Rough From Tall Fescue To ‘Sharps Improved Ii’ Buffalograss, J. Reeves, J. Hoyle, D. Bremer, S. Keeley
Influence Of Glyphosate Timings On Conversion Of Golf Course Rough From Tall Fescue To ‘Sharps Improved Ii’ Buffalograss, J. Reeves, J. Hoyle, D. Bremer, S. Keeley
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
All treatments, except the control that received no glyphosate application, resulted in acceptable buffalograss establishment (>90% buffalograss green cover) by 70 days after seeding (DAS). However, any treatment not sprayed prior to seeding date or that received a 7 DAS application lagged behind in establishment for 6 weeks after seeding.
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Detect Turfgrass Drought, D. Bremer, Deon Van Der Merwe
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Detect Turfgrass Drought, D. Bremer, Deon Van Der Merwe
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Kansas State University is evaluating the ability of using small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to detect drought stress in turfgrass. Their research indicates high resolution remote sensing with small UAS can detect drought stress before it is visible to the human eye. Preliminary measurements of a golf course revealed interesting differences in fairways, tees, and greens between summer and fall seasons. Additional research will be conducted in 2016.
Nitrous Oxide Emissions And Carbon Sequestration In Turfgrass: Effects Of Irrigation And Nitrogen Fertilization (Year 1), R. Braun, D. Bremer, J. Fry
Nitrous Oxide Emissions And Carbon Sequestration In Turfgrass: Effects Of Irrigation And Nitrogen Fertilization (Year 1), R. Braun, D. Bremer, J. Fry
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
In this study, annual nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions were greatest in urea and least in untreated (no N) among treatments. Differences were negligible due to irrigation treatment. Irrigation levels may be decreased further in the final year to induce slight stress on the low irrigation treatment. All fertilizer treatments maintained acceptable quality, however the controlled-release fertilizer resulted in more consistent visual quality ratings compared to urea and untreated. Urea fertilizer had higher peak fluxes after fertilization and overall annual emissions than polymer-coated N-fertilizer. Thus, controlled released N fertilizers, such as polymer-coated urea, in turfgrass systems could potentially help …
2013 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Bermudagrass Test: 2015 Data, L. Parsons, J. Griffin, J. Hoyle
2013 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Bermudagrass Test: 2015 Data, L. Parsons, J. Griffin, J. Hoyle
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Kansas represents the northernmost region in the central United States where bermudagrass can be successfully grown as a perennial turfgrass. Historically, few cultivars that have both acceptable quality and adequate cold-tolerance have been available to local growers. Because new introductions are continually being selected for improved hardiness and quality, both seeded and vegetative types need regular evaluation to determine their long-range suitability for use in Kansas.
Development Of Cold Hardy, Large Patch Resistant Zoysiagrass Cultivars For The Transition Zone, Mingying Xiang, J. Fry, M. Kennelly
Development Of Cold Hardy, Large Patch Resistant Zoysiagrass Cultivars For The Transition Zone, Mingying Xiang, J. Fry, M. Kennelly
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
TAES 5645, a Z. japonica genotype that exhibited resistance to large patch in preliminary studies, was used as a breeding parent and crossed with 22 cold hardy zoysiagrasses, resulting in 985 progeny. These progeny were evaluated for cold hardiness and agronomic traits (establishment rate, overall quality, spring greenup, leaf texture, and genetic color) in Manhattan, KS; West Lafayette, IN; and Dallas, TX; from 2012 to 2014. From this work, 60 progeny were identified for further evaluation in larger plots. During the 2015-2016 establishment year, experimental line 6102-47 showed good vigor and spring green up rate, which is comparable to ‘Meyer,’ …
