| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews research conducted to discover if using daily light integral technology could help golf course superintendents choose turfgrass cultivars for problem spots. Summarizes that J. Bryan Unruh, Ph. D., Jason Kruse, Ph.D., and graduate student Brian Glenn are "running three cycles of tests this year [2012] to account for varied photo periods and day lengths, in what Unruh calls 'cutting-edge research, none of which has been done before on turf.'" Details that "they [Unruh, Kruse, and Glenn] are mounting DLI 100 meters and PAR pyranometer sensors inside putting-green cups, capping them with specially made acrylic lids and placing them in putting greens where they will accumulate light over time" which will assist in choosing which cultivar performs best. Adds that Unruh's team is also assessing the LightScout DLI 100 meters and exploring the influence of shade duration on turfgrass morphology." Suggests that superintendents "should choose 'two or three greens most influenced by shade,' pick a day with full sun or minimal clouds, set up a light sensor and meter on a given spot, and measure the light at a given location all day long" if they want to test their greens. |
