  • Methods and compositions to reduce soil water repellency
    Patent number: 9944854
    Abstract: 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.

  • Seashore paspalum plant named 'UGA 31'
    Publication number: 20140359910
    Abstract: A new and distinct vegetatively reproduced cultivar of seashore paspalum, Paspalum vaginatum, which 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.
