e0“Experimental freezing at −20°C for up to 96 h, of burned and nonburned sods collected in October, followed by thawing also improved the growth of wheat subsequently sown directly into these sods.”

Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Wheat seedlings were stunted and spindly in October sods regardless of burning.
- Intervention effect Wheat grew significantly better in burned than nonburned December and March sods.
- Intervention effect Methyl bromide fumigation improved wheat growth in nonburned sods.
- Intervention effect Simulated tillage improved wheat growth in nonburned sods.
- Intervention effect Metalaxyl drenching improved wheat growth in nonburned sods.
- Intervention effect Combined soil treatments improved wheat growth in nonburned sods.
- Intervention effect Wheat growth in untreated burned sods exposed to frost equalled growth in fumigated sods.
- Intervention effect Freezing and thawing burned October sods improved subsequently sown wheat growth.
- Observation Stunted wheat seedlings had roots girdled and severed by lesions typical of Rhizoctonia root rot.
- Observation Rhizoctonia cerealis isolates were recovered from affected roots.
- Intervention effect Rhizoctonia cerealis caused poor emergence and stunted root and shoot growth in wheat.
- Intervention effect Rhizoctonia cerealis caused poor emergence and stunted root and shoot growth in bluegrass.
- Mechanism R. cerealis and Pythium are potentially important wheat pathogens after Kentucky bluegrass.
- Recommendation Routine burning can reduce Rhizoctonia and Pythium root rot damage in wheat directly seeded into bluegrass sod.
