The present disclosure includes methods and compositions for reducing turf thatch and/or preventing turf thatch buildup. The compositions include isolated fungal laccase enzymes, such as laccase enzymes from white rot fungi. Methods of reducing and/or preventing turf thatch buildup include applying compositions including isolated fungal laccase enzymes to turfgrass.

Methods and compositions using fungal laccases to reduce turf thatch

The present disclosure describes methods and compositions for reducing and/or preventing soil water repellency. Embodiments of methods of reducing soil water repellency (SWR) of the present disclosure include applying to an area of groundcover a composition including an effective amount of at least one isolated enzyme capable of degrading or altering organic matter associated with SWR, where the SWR of the area of groundcover is reduced after treatment with the enzyme composition.

Methods and compositions to reduce soil water repellency

A new and distinct vegetatively reproduced cultivar of seashorewhich is characterized by a combination of excellent green turf color, non-dwarf rapidly spreading growth habit, good salt tolerance, its ability to maintain high turf density and quality at a range of mowing heights, and the ability to maintain turf quality and to resist leaf firing during periods of short term drought.

Seashoreplant named 'UGA 31'

The present disclosure describes methods and compositions for reducing turf thatch and/or preventing turf thatch buildup.
