Abstract/Contents:Presents a study to "investigate the physiological factors that cause summer bentgrass decline and examine how carbohydrate metabolism influences the decline in creeping bentgrass root activity and turf quality under low mowing and high temperatures." Reports that "turf quality of all three cultivars (L-93, Crenshaw, Penncross) declined over the summer as expected and recovered in October. Pencross was the lowest throughout. Electrolyte leakage of leaves for all three cultivars increased dramatically in August and September and was more severe at the 1/8-inch cutting height than 5/32 inches. L-93 had higher root dry weights than Penncross and Crenshaw. Grasses mowed at the lower cutting heights had lower root weights." Also states that "antioxidant enzyme levels increased in early summer, decreased dramatically in the middle of summer, and gradually recovered in the October when [the] temperature decreased." This three-year study began in 1998.
