Crop, Forage & Turfgrass Management

???? Optimizing spray techniques can enhance peanut disease control! A study found: ?? Higher carrier volume + medium droplet nozzles improved spray deposition ?? Effects on lower canopy varied by timing ?? Yield wasn’t impacted by volume or nozzle type ?? https://lnkd.in/g-JqPpSp #PeanutFarming #CropProtection #AgResearch #SprayTechnology

The American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America are happy to announce all articles published in their 13 society research journals, including Crop, Forage & Turfgrass Management, are now freely available in India under the One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative. To promote a dynamic research culture, ONOS has consolidated consortia and institutional subscriptions across India to benefit underserved institutions. Peer reviewed journal research covering agronomic, crop, soil, and environmental sciences published by ASA, CSSA, and SSSA is available to students, researchers, and authors via ONOS at https://onos.gov.in/.

?? Optimizing Pest Management in Bermudagrass: Yield and Economics New research on bermudagrass pest management! Two applications of zeta-cypermethrin (a pyrethroid insecticide) maximize yield and profitability compared to alternatives like Spinosad. ?? Key Findings: ?? Zeta-cypermethrin treatments resulted in a greater herbage accumulation compared to the negative control in both bermudagrasses. ??The use of Spinosad is less profitable than the use of zeta-cypermethrin, as it does not improve overall herbage accumulation compared to the untreated control in either cultivar evaluated. ?? Sustainability: reducing pyrethroid usage and developing more BSM-tolerant cultivars are top priorities. ??

Fresh off the press! Researchers at NC State - College of Agriculture and Life Sciences NC State University - Crop & Soil Sciences investigated the influence of fraise mowing and hollow-tine aerification combinations on soil properties of loam and sandy soils, and the aboveground quality of bermudagrass soccer fields. https://lnkd.in/gi5UzVHP They found: ? Combining both practices resulted in unacceptable turf quality for 2-6 weeks. ? Bermudagrass recovered as expected ? Fraise mowing did not improve drainage capacity, but it did increase surface hardness and did not affect divot resistance ? Fraise mowing and hollow-tine aerification were complimentary and positively affected the soil physical properties in both soil types
