time requiring the use of a postemergence herbicide application for eradication ( Branham et al., 2010 ). The selective control of ABG in cool-season turf, especially kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.), can be challenging as a result of limited
assess the waterlogging tolerance of turfgrass and to explore the physiological traits associated with stress tolerance. Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) is a widely used turfgrass species that adapts to well-drained soil conditions over cool
bentgrass is competitive with other cool-season turfgrasses at higher mowing heights (7.5 to 10 cm) and often spreads into surrounding areas of Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) ( Davis, 1958 ). Creeping bentgrass is considered a weed in these
). Traditionally, the main turfgrasses grown in the transition zone are zoysiagrass ( Zoysia japonica Steud.), bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.], Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.), and tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) ( Beard, 1973
perenne L.), kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.), and tall fescue. Research demonstrated consistently that sequential mesotrione applications provide more CBG control than single applications ( Branham et al., 2005 ; Dernoeden et al., 2008 ; Jones
irrigation water quality is critical for the development of strategies to conserve fresh water supplies. Although not the most salt-tolerant of grasses, kentucky bluegrass (KBG) is a popular cool-season grass that can remain green throughout the year in arid
turfgrasses has been associated with the maintenance of transpiration and photosynthesis among various other mechanisms ( Jiang and Huang, 2000 ). Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) (KBG) is a commonly used cool-season turfgrass species for home lawns
Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) is a popular turfgrass species throughout its adaptive range. It typically produces a dense stand of turf with dark green color, high overall turf quality, and a wide range of disease tolerance. This makes
( Gill and Rainville, 1994 ). NaCl is the principal soil salinity stress ( Yokoi et al., 2002 ). Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) is a cool-season grass widely used for home lawns, sport fields, and commercial landscapes in temperate climates
Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) mixed with PRG ( Lolium perenne L.) is a common seed mixture for lawn establishment. Seed mixes capitalize on the beneficial aspects of each turfgrass species such as differences in disease/insect resistance
