Soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) is a common problem on sand-based golf greens. Due to this phenomenon, soil water may percolate as "finger flow" rather than uniformly through the soil profile. The objective of this project was to investigate the effect of a commonly used wetting agent, Primer 604, on turf quality and leaching of two fungicides from two contrasting rootzones. The preliminary conclusions are as follows: 1. The wetting agent (WA) improved turf quality of straight sand rootzones during the warm and dry summer. Rootzone containing compost were not affected by WA. 2. WA lead to more water retention in the thatch layer and thus a tendency to more fungi during the rainy fall season. Again, the effect was mostly expressed on straight sand rootzones. 3. Water droplet intiltration tests showed that straight sand rootzones were strongly hydrophobic, even at 3-5 cm depth, i.e. under the thatch layer. Compost-amended rootzones were less hydrophobic, and only in the thatch layer. 4. WA reduced the spatial variation in soil water content, notably in the 4-15 cm layer on straight sand plots. This suggest that water percolation was more uniform after use of WA. 5. Fungicide leaching did not occur from Green Mix rootzones, even for azoxystobin + propicionazole used at high "American" rates. 6. Use of WA significantly reduced leaching of the fungicides iprodione, azoxystrobin and propiconazole from straight sand rootzones.

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is used by the turf industry in the northeastern United States for soil improvement. When tilled into soil at high rates, some turfgrass managers claim that SMS inhibits turf seed germination. Our objectives were 1) to determine if fresh SMS inhibits turf seed germination and, if so, which species are most adversely affected; 2) to evaluate whether any inhibition caused by SMS is due to osmotic effects or toxicity of compounds in SMS extracts; 3) to determine if any negative effect of SMS on germination can be eliminated by leaching the SMS-amended soil before seeding; and 4) to assess the performance of SMS on seedling emergence in the field. Germination of nine turfgrass species was evaluated in mixtures made from fresh SMS [electrical conductivity of saturated paste extract (ECe) = 11.9 dS m-1] and a loamy sand soil. Germination inhibition due to SMS was most pronounced in the following order: Colonial bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris L.) > sheep fescue (Festuca ovina L. ssp. hirtula [Hackel ex Travis] Wilkinson) > Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) > hard fescue (Festuca trachyphylla [Hackel] Krajina]) > creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) > Chewings fescue (Festuca rubra L. sp. commutata [Thuill.] Nyman) = strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L. ssp. rubra Gaud.) > slender creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L. sp. litoralis [Meyer] Auquier) > perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). SMS had a stronger negative effect on germination rates (GRs) than on final germination percentages (FGPs). Germination of perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass on blotter paper moisted with SMS-extracts or polyethylene glycol of equivalent osmotic potentials showed that the inhibition was primarily due to osmotic effects. In an experiment with a 50% soil / 50% SMS (v/v) mixture, Kentucky bluegrass germinated better in pots that had been watered with 133 or 167% of the evaporation rate for ten days prior to seeding than in unleached pots. Although the negative effect of SMS on seed germination was not confirmed in a field study where ECe values never exceeded 4.1 dS m-1, we conclude that incorporation of high rates of SMS represents a potential problem for turfgrass establishment.

Pærebrann er en alvorlig sjukdom på eple, pære og prydplanter i rosefamilien. De siste femti år har sjukdommen vært under spredning i Europa. Bakterien som forårsaker pærebrann er en fremmed art under spredning i Norge.

Søramerikansk minerflue er siden 1995 funnet flere ganger i norske veksthus. Arten har hittil ikke etablert seg i Norge, da alle fluer funnet i veksthus er utrydded.
