Microbial Biostimulants For Heat Stressed Bentgrass

Golf course turf looks effortless until summer heat hits and then the science shows up fast. We sit down with Chiara Ammaturo to unpack what happens when creeping bentgrass faces heat stress and why “just add a product” is never the full story. We walk through her ASHS published research on microbial inoculants and biostimulants, including a fungal treatment, a bacterial treatment, and a combined approach. Along the way we talk turfgrass quality, pigment content, and soil health metrics like...
