Permanent grasslands are widely recognized for their role in protecting the landscape
against soil erosion and flooding. However, this role has not yet been comprehensively …

BACKGROUND As a registered non‐fumigant nematicide, abamectin has been widely used
as a soil treatment against many cash crop nematode diseases. In a previous study, we …

Soil water repellency causes at least temporal changes in the hydrological properties of a
soil which result in, among other things, suboptimal growing conditions and increased …

Golf courses represent an agricultural activity wherein grass is intensively cultivated using
large quantities of fertilizers. In the present study, nitrogen and phosphorus leaching was …

Conversion from annual bluegrass or bentgrasses to red fescue could be an efficient way to
minimise water use on golf greens. Our objective was to investigate the influences of four …

The fungicide tebuconazole (TBZ) is used to repress fungal growth in golf greens and
ensure their playability. This study determined the degradation and sorption of TBZ applied …

Nematodes are microscopic, soil‐dwelling organisms that adversely affect many turfgrass
systems, including golf course putting greens. Abamectin controls many nematode species …

Surfactants are commonly employed in sand‐based turfgrass systems to address soil water
repellency, which often results in the formation of preferential flow channels leading to non …

The irrigation schedule in arid areas has to be efficient in order to reduce losses due to
evaporation and deep infiltration. Irrigation optimization poses the need to establish with …

Water retentionx is considered an important characteristic for determining the efficiency and
effectiveness of soils and greenhouse substrates. Surfactants have the potential to improve …
