I am starting this blog to keep up with my PhD research. This is going to be my way of keeping up with what I do and learn throughout my years at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. For my research, I am going to work on determining the physiological effects of low mowing, rolling, and foot traffic on creeping bentgrass putting greens in the transition zone.
We are going to look at the basics for turf research to differentiate treatments. We will also be measuring photosynthesis and respiration of plots experiencing the various treatment combinations. To go along with photosynthesis and respiration, we are planning on extracting, identifying, and quantifying individual carbohydrate fractions within the putting green. One of the parts that is really exciting, is the ball mark resistance and recovery. Those are the objectives I will be trying to figure out and measure throughout the next few years.
I am planning on just keeping up with what I am doing on a regular basis, so I can use this as a tool to remember things in the future when I need them. If this looks like an enjoyable topic to you, feel free to read posts in the future.
