President’s message

Looking Forward

to an Eventful Year

F

inally, after the very difficult winter, we were able to enjoy a wonderful spring season that sent us into this, our main growing season — summer.

At our last MTC board meeting, we were informed by Dr. Tom Turner that The University of Maryland is close to naming a new Turfgrass Pathologist. The Search Committee has narrowed the list of prospective candidates. Possibly by the time you read this Message, a final candidate will have been selected. It is our hope the candidate will be introduced at the Summer Field Day. Speaking of the Summer Field Day, we are planning for an afternoon of presentations and then a picnic dinner. The program will include some turf plot analyses, a few mini-lectures and some general updates. The date is July 23, and more information will be forthcoming. It would be my pleasure to meet and greet all the members at that time.

The “Turf Pathology Endowment” continues to grow. The next level is to approach large corporations and explain how they can assist us in making this endowment happen. If anyone knows of an organization or corporation that might be interested in helping us achieve our goal, please contact us.

Your board is also working to improve our January Conference and Tradeshow. We are discussing several changes to the format.

We believe we have a very good Conference, but we can make it better. Let us know if there is something you believe would help to improve the Conference.

The date for the “Angie Cammarota” Golf Tournament for Turfgrass Research will be October 1 this year, and we are looking forward to a large turnout. See page 10 for more information.

I hope all of you had a very productive late spring and a grand early-summer season.

from the mtc executive director

Notes from YOUR

Executive Director Well, we have completed another “abnormal” Maryland spring. Sod and established turf are looking great with all the cool, wet weather we had, and the soil finally warmed enough for turf seed to germinate. I trust that everyone is up and running hard trying to catch up, but that is nothing really new for anyone in the Maryland turf business.

This is where the “professionals” really stand out.

Your officers, board of directors and I have been busy preparing for an exciting year and for several upcoming events, which I hope you — members of the MTC — will take the opportunity to attend to learn the latest advances in our industry, help support The University of Maryland turfgrass programs and utilize these events to network for the betterment of your own business.

The University has been fast-tracking to fill the Turfgrass Pathologist position vacated by the retirement of Dr. Pete Dernoeden. Dr. Dernoeden left some huge shoes to fill, but all reports are that some very qualified candidates are being examined, and we hope to make an announcement at the bi-annual Summer Field Day at the University Turf Research Farm on July 23.

Mark your calendar right now — July 23 — so you don’t miss the Summer Field Day at the Turf Farm. This is your chance to learn and see the latest developments in turfgrass varieties, as well as the latest treatments for the issues we face each day. Plan now to spend the late afternoon on Wednesday, July 23, at the research farm.

Watch for more information as we get closer.

You also will not want to miss the MTC Annual “Angie Cammarota” Golf Tournament in support of turfgrass research at The University of Maryland. This year, the tournament will be on Wednesday, October 1, at Queenstown Harbor. MTC director Brian Gietka and his team are busy finalizing the details, but it’s time to start putting your foursome together and signing up to be a hole sponsor. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or contact Brian directly at 301-739-4286 or briangietka@gmail.com. You won’t want to miss this opportunity for a chance to play the unique course and to support the University’s turfgrass research program.

Dr. Mark Carroll, the Program Advisor for Turfgrass 2015, is developing what appears to be a fantastic program for our annual get-together. The Turfgrass Conference is slated for January 5–6, 2015, at the Stamp Student Union on the University’s College Park campus. Do you have something you want to learn more about? Have you had

the opportunity to hear someone who would be a great speaker at our conference? Please give me a call, or drop me an email, or feel free to contact Dr. Carroll directly at mcarroll@umd.edu or 301-405-1339. This is YOUR conference, and this is YOUR opportunity to get the information you want or need, so please share your thoughts with us.

By now, everyone should have received their dues notices, and thanks to the many who have already sent their dues to me. If you have not received a dues notice, please feel free to drop me a line, and I will get an application to you. Notices to become members were sent to all members from last year, plus everyone who attended the last Turfgrass Conference. This issue of the magazine is being sent to all, so you can review and learn what you are missing. However, starting with the next issue of MTC Turf News, the distribution will be ONLY to paid members. Please join, support the University turf programs and become part of the team of professionals who are MTC members.

We are also working with Leading Edge Communications on a new web platform that is designed exclusively for the turf industry. It uses the newer Web 2.0 technology and is built in WordPress. With this change, we hope to establish a page where we can handle multiple registrations for all of our different activities, including accepting payments (via PayPal). We also want to establish a “Jobs and Classifieds” page where members can list job openings and equipment that they want to sell or trade.

A “Members Only” page will be established for special offerings, including electronic versions of MTC Turf News and other information. If there is anything else you would like to see on your MTC website, please let me know.

If there is anything the MTC officers and board of directors and/or I can do to help you with any turfgrass industry-related issues, please feel free to contact me by any of the following: • U.S. Mail: P.O. Box 389, St. Michaels, MD 21663 • Email: ExecDir@MDTurfCouncil.com • Website: www.MDTurfCouncil.org • Phone: 410-745-8867 office, 410-745-9643 home or 443-742-6618 cell

Cover Story

By Peter Dernoeden, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland

Water

is critical for the growth and survival of turf, but may be expensive when used in the quantities required by home lawns. Most city dwellers pay twice for each gallon of water applied to the lawn because they are assessed a sewer charge, regardless of how and where the water is used.

12

MTC Turf News

Select the right grass

Water conservation begins with proper species and cultivar selection at the time turf is established. Zoysiagrass and bermudagrass are the most heat- and drought-tolerant turfgrasses used in our state. Zoysiagrass is preferred because it is more winter hardy, requires less care and is slower growing than bermudagrass.

Both species are warm-season grasses that develop a brown color as they enter winter dormancy (generally from November to May in Maryland).

Of the cool-season species, tall fescue possesses the best combination of heat and drought resistance, as well as summer quality. Among fine leaf fescues, sheep and hard fescue also possess ex-

fescue cultivars. Hard and sheep fescue tolerate heat and drought better than tall fescue, but they can be damaged severely if mowed during summer stress periods.

Cultural practices to conserve water The use of sound cultural practices is critical for maximizing water conservation.

Increasing mowing height during the summer and avoiding excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers during spring and summer will enhance the ability of cool-season turfgrasses to withstand summer stress.

Modest levels of nitrogen (0.5 to 0.8 lb. N/1000 ft2) applied in mid-May, however, may have a beneficial effect on turf quality. An exception is warm-season grasses like zoysiagrass and bermudagrass, which are preferably fertilized in early summer and should be maintained at 0.5" to 0.75" mowing height.

Tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass lawns should be mowed to a height of 2.5" to 3.5" during summer months.

Fine-leaf fescues should be maintained at 3.5" to 4.0" and should not be mowed in summer during periods of heat and drought stress.

Aeration and thatch removal are cultural practices that help improve soil structure and water infiltration. These practices should be performed in early autumn for cool-season grasses; the best time to perform these operations for warm-season grasses is in mid-spring after dormancy has broken.

Irrigation guidelines

cellent summer stress resistance. Hard and sheep fescue perform well under low maintenance in sunny or shaded sites, but they do not tolerate a lot of traffic from people, pets or vehicles. Creeping red fescue and chewings fescue, however, generally exhibit poor color and may develop an unsightly clumpy appearance in full sun during the summer.

To maintain acceptable turf quality, Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass will require more water during summer than tall fescue. Perennial ryegrass, however, should not be used for lawns in Maryland due to its high susceptibility to disease. There does not appear to be large differences in drought tolerance among recommended tall

A frequently publicized rule of thumb for irrigating lawn turf is to apply 1" to 2" of water per week. Although this may keep turf green during most of the summer, it may be wasteful or ineffective, particularly where thick thatch layers, heavy clay soils or “hard pans” exist.

In general, it’s more effective to water turf by need and not by rule.

The best time to irrigate the lawn is when turf just begins to show signs of wilt. This, of course, is not always easy to determine. However, there are two prominent symptoms exhibited by turf as it begins to wilt: (1) foot printing and

(2) the development of a blue-green or blue-gray leaf color. After walking across drought-stressed turf, leaves of the walked-upon plants remain depressed for several minutes, providing the “foot printing” effect. When turf exhibits foot printing or develops a blue-gray color, it is very important that the turf be irrigated to avoid permanent wilting of leaves and induction of summer dormancy (i.e., browning of the turf). During periods of extreme heat and drought stress, dormant plants may die. Some professional managers use instruments that measure soil moisture levels, but most rely on the visual symptoms expressed by drought-stressed turf and frequent soil probing.

The lawn should be deeply watered as soon as it has been determined that turf is under drought stress. The duration and quantity of water applied should be sufficient to wet the soil to a depth of 4" to 6" inches. Deep watering encourages the roots of grass plants to grow deeper into soil. This indirectly enhances the drought resistance of turfgrasses by providing a greater reservoir of soil water for plants to draw upon.

The duration and quantity of water needed depends greatly upon soil texture, structure and thickness of the thatch. In most housing developments, lawns are grown on heavy, clay sub-soils deposited during excavation of foundations and basements. This type of soil resists water penetration and the downward movement of water (percolation) through the soil. In many situations, it is extremely difficult to get water percolation to a 4" to 6" depth.

Hence, on heavy, clay soils or where hard pans and dense layers of thatch exist, water must be applied slowly.

If the rate of water applied exceeds the rate at which water infiltrates soil, water will run off and be wasted. The sprinkler, therefore, should be moved as water begins to run off onto sidewalks or the driveway. The sprinkler must be continually moved back and forth on rapid runoff areas at 30- to 60-minute intervals or as needed until water has penetrated to the desired depth. The same principles and practices apply to irrigating turf on slopes or other rapid

run-off areas. Probing the soil will enable you to determine soil moisture depth.

This is best achieved with a probe that removes soil plugs, but a screwdriver also provides a good indication of depth of soil wetness.

Night irrigation is discouraged because it may encourage diseases, particularly when night temperatures exceed 68°F. Night irrigation, however, is a standard practice on golf courses and other large recreational turfs. Night irrigation is preferred in those situations because it does not interfere with daily management operations or recreational activities, and it reduces the potential for soil compaction in turf areas with heavy traffic.

The best time to irrigate lawns is during the coolest part of the day when there is no wind. These conditions usually occur during early morning or late afternoon and help conserve water by reducing evaporation. Conversely, midday irrigation during hot, sunny or windy days should be avoided because of increased evaporative losses of water.

Furthermore, water that collects in low areas and inundates the turf for an extended period may cause scald injury during sunny, hot periods. Contrary to a popular misconception, scald will not occur if water is applied properly on hot days when turf is under heat and drought stress.

Excessive or frequent irrigation can be just as detrimental to turf as inadequate watering. Turfgrass plants that are subjected to frequent irrigation become lush and succulent. These lush plant tissues are more susceptible to injury from heat, drought and wear stress, and they are more prone to disease injury. Frequent irrigation also discourages roots from growing deeper into soil, thereby limiting the soil volume from which plants obtain water and nutrients.

Excessively irrigated turf is more prone to invasion by moss and algae, and wet soils are more easily compacted by traffic. Soil compaction is common on home lawns, particularly those lawns where children play frequently. Turf growing in compacted areas will have restricted root systems and lose vigor as a result of poor aeration. Because of the harmful

effects of compaction, turf growing in these areas has a tendency to wilt more rapidly during dry periods, and normally thins out, allowing crabgrass, knotweed and other weeds to invade the area.

Compaction can be minimized by not subjecting turf to traffic and other heavy uses when soil is wet. Compaction can be alleviated by aeration, but only rototilling, adding soil amendments (if necessary) and re-seeding or sodding the area will correct the problem.

Light and frequent irrigation also restricts rooting, reduces stress tolerance, enhances the germination of weed seed (especially crabgrass, goosegrass and white clover seed) and encourages diseases. Many homeowners get into the habit of applying small amounts of water to their lawns on a frequent basis. These homeowners often return to a brown lawn after taking a one- or two-week vacation during hot, summer months.

Grasses in these brown lawns are usually not dead, but in a state of dormancy.

However, in extreme cases of drought coupled with a past history of light and frequent irrigations, large areas of the lawn may die. Homeowners who are likely to take vacations longer than one week in the summer are best advised to begin restrictive, deep and infrequent irrigation several weeks in advance of their vacation. Light and frequent, or excessive, watering prior to leaving on vacation is likely to cause more severe injury than not applying any water at all.

This is particularly true for Kentucky bluegrass lawns.

Sprinkler head and hose diameter selection also are important. Sprinkler heads that deliver large water drops will water a lawn more rapidly and with less evaporative losses than those heads that deliver a mist. The “frog eye” type of sprinkler, which has no moving parts, delivers water very effectively, particularly on areas subject to rapid runoff. The “frog eye” sprinkler, however, covers only a small area and must be moved more frequently than most other sprinklers. The rotating, pulsating or impact sprinkler heads deliver relatively large drops of water and cover a large area at one time.

continued • SECTION NAME

The diameter of the hose also is important. Small hose diameters will create more friction, which reduces the amount of water that can be delivered. Hose diameters above 5/8", and preferably 3/4" to 1", are best suited for lawn irrigation. It should be noted that long hoses are subjected to greater friction and lower pressure.

Tips for minimizing water use on lawn turf

1

S elect drought-resistant species and cultivars before establishing a lawn.

Plant only certified seed or sod of adapted cultivars.

2

During late spring, increase the mowing height of cool-season turfgrasses.

Control thatch, verticut, aerate and apply nitrogen fertilizers at the recommended time of year (i.e., beginning in early autumn for Kentucky bluegrass and fescues, and early summer for zoysiagrass and bermudagrass).

3

Irrigate established turf by wetting the soil to a depth of 4" to 6" during the early stages of wilting (i.e., when turf exhibits foot printing and/or when turf develops a blue-gray leaf color). Watering turf deeply on an asneeded basis will increase the ability of turf to withstand environmental stress and will conserve water in the long run.

4

Monitor moisture depth by soil probing. Ensure that the rate of water movement into soil does not exceed the rate of delivery to prevent runoff and wasted water. Water around sunrise, if possible.

5

Select a sprinkler head that delivers large water droplets, and use a hose with a diameter of 0.75" or greater.

6

Avoid the application of excessive amounts of nitrogen fertilizer to cool-season grasses in spring and summer. •
