The article focuses on the importance of sufficient nutrient recommendations improving soil quality to establish higher quality turfgrasses. Also includes the use of best management practices (BMPs) to determine the range of nutrient applications, and high nitrogen content requirement for growing bermudagrass.

The article discusses a trial at the Oregon State University Lewis-Brown Horticulture Farm in Corvallis, Oregon to find the impact of biological control products and rolling on Microdochium patch on an annual bluegrass putting green without using fungicides. Topics discussed include suppression of Microdochium patch, the highest turf quality with rolled treatments, and evaluation of rolling or biological control products in combination with sulfur or mineral oil.

The article reports on a study indicating the impact of colorants on shade-grown creeping bentgrasses. It mentions the potential of the colorants in relieving ultraviolet (UV) stress, expand the growing season and enhance the resistance of turfgrasses against pests. It also notes their composition of green mineral pigment phthalocyanine and sustainment of grass health.

The article presents a research which investigates the effectiveness of commonly use wetting agents while having an irrigation at various levels of evapotranspiration (ET) on sand-based creeping bentgrass. Topics discussed include turf quality and color, irrigation treatments, and localized dry spots (LDS).
