Topdressing with finer sand and/or at minimal rates can enhance incorporation, greatly reducing the concerns of interference. A 7-year field study investigated the effects of topdressing and cultivation practices on turf quality and surface characteristics of creeping bentgrass (<i>Agrostis stolonifera</i> L.) grown on a sand-based rootzone. A 3 × 2 × 2 factorial design evaluated sand size (medium-coarse, medium-fine, and fine-medium), rate of topdressing during mid-season (0.24 or 0.49 kg m<sup>−2</sup> every 10–14 days), and cultivation (hollow tine cultivation [HTC] plus backfilled with medium-coarse sand or noncultivated). Sand size and topdressing rate significantly affected turf quality, surface volumetric water content (VWC), and surface hardness, with their effects dependent on cultivation. Without HTC, VWC increased as the topdressing sand size became finer. However, when HTC was applied, VWC was not increased by topdressing with medium-fine sand during any year. The practice of HTC also offset the effect of fine-medium sand increasing VWC during the first 4 years, but not Years 5 through 7. Therefore, caution is needed when considering fine-medium sand for topdressing putting greens. Additionally, after 5 years of treatment, the lower topdressing rate led to a wetter surface compared to the higher rate in the absence of cultivation, but not when HTC was applied. The major drawback of HTC was disruption of the turf surface, which resulted in better turf quality on noncultivated plots throughout the trial.</p>","PeriodicalId":7522,"journal":{"name":"Agronomy Journal","volume":"117 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agj2.70039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conducted over two consecutive growing seasons (2020–2021), the research aimed to optimize weed management recommendations on a regional scale. The main objectives were to assess treatment timing and intensity and evaluate the efficacy of integrated weed management (IWM) in reducing reliance on herbicides. In 2020, standard chemical treatments—a tank-mix application of metribuzin (175 g a.i. ha<sup>−1</sup>) and rimsulfuron (25 g a.i. ha<sup>−1</sup>)—were applied in six field experiments based on cumulative growing degree days (GDD) to account for climate variability among sites. An infestation index was developed to represent the initial state of the fields and the magnitude of the change in infestation. In 2021, IWM was introduced, combining finger weeder cultivation with herbicide treatments at three sites. Results from the first season showed that in early-plantings, a single herbicide application at 150 GDD was as effective as dual applications at 150 and 300 GDD. However, in late plantings, a single application at 300 GDD was ineffective. In the second season, all treatments effectively reduced <i>Amaranthus</i> infestation, with IWM performing comparably to herbicide alone. Importantly, IWM demonstrated the potential to control herbicide-resistant biotypes while minimizing chemical use, making it an environmentally sustainable option.

This study examined whether less frequent cultivation for weed control and the application of carbon-rich soil fertility amendments would enable progress toward those goals during the 3-year transition period to organic production. Standard weed control with cultivation was compared to high-frequency cultivation combined with delayed planting. The standard approach produced 7% higher crop yield over the course of a corn (<i>Zea mays</i> L.)–soybean [<i>Glycine max</i> (L.)

In-field weed counts and weed seedbank germination showed weed populations tended to be lower in the high-frequency cultivation treatment, although patterns were crop specific. Weed populations increased over the 3 years in all treatments, suggesting that additional weed control tactics may have been beneficial. Carbon-rich poultry manure had no significant effects on weed populations, soil health, or crop yield compared to an N-rich organic fertilizer. However, crop yields were positively related to soil health indicators, specifically greater soil total carbon and nitrogen and permanganate oxidizable carbon.

We evaluated weed community responses to soil movement within a hilly landform. Soil-landscape rehabilitation was performed by moving 15–20 cm of accumulated topsoil from the lower slope and adding it to the upper slope positions (areas of net soil loss by erosion). Adjacent plots were left in their eroded condition. Weed density and species richness were monitored for 4 years. Annual grasses dominated the weed community in the upper slope, and weed abundance was highest in the most eroded landscape positions. Soil addition improved soil characteristics for crop growth but did not increase weed densities. The density of weeds was lower where soil was removed in the first 2 years after soil movement, likely through removal of weed seeds with soil.
