week to verify that PAR was uniform throughout the experiment. Grass response was measured twice each week as clipping yield [mg dry matter (DM)/cm 2 /d], vertical growth rate (cm·d −1 ), leaf texture (mm width) and NDVI. For each pot, NDVI was

( Erickson et al., 2008 ; Guertal, 2006 , 2008 ; Liu et al., 2008 ; Snyder et al., 2008 ). Root weight, clipping yield, and ball rolling. There were no significant differences in ash-free root weight with samples collected at WAS 14 in both years ( Table

the days required for seed germination after overseeding was noted. Clippings were collected at each mowing. To determine dry clipping yield, clippings were dried in an oven at 68 °C for 48 h. Turfgrass visual quality was evaluated based on a 1 to 9

.) ( Jiang and Fry, 1998 ), and simultaneous drought and heat stresses in creeping bentgrass ( McCann and Huang, 2007 ). Ervin and Koski (2001) reported that TE resulted in lower evapotranspiration (ET) rates and reduced clipping yield in kentucky bluegrass

ryegrass and tall fescue that resulted in an increase of color ratings and clipping yields when treated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Several studies have been performed on perennial ryegrass for salt tolerance enhancement by applying

an indirect measure of the plant biomass produced from that plot. SAS Institute (1999) Proc Mixed was used to perform analysis of variance for turfgrass cover, quality, and clipping yield. All data were checked for equal variance and arcsine square

other cultivars. Herbicide treatment had no effect on clipping yield 4 WAT (data not shown), whereas only treated ‘TifEagle’ and ‘FloraDwarf’ bermudagrass had 32% and 25% reduced clipping yield 8 WAT from that nontreated, respectively. Table 5

compared with soil without CB ( Schnell et al., 2009 ). Similarly, incorporation of a 1.3-cm layer of CB within a 10- to 15-cm depth of excavated soil enhanced visual assessments of percent cover and clipping yields of seeded cool-season turfgrasses

and lower clipping yield as compared to foliar fertilization alone. Tank mixing organic amendment in liquid fertilizers resulted in an average increase of root/shoot biomass ratio from 0.62 to 0.65 grown in the 100% sand root zone. The effect of
