A new turfgrass APMT 008 (ATCC Accession No. PTA-126635). A method of over-seeding dormant warm season grasses, including over-seeding the warm season grass with Turf Type Festulolium (American Ryegrass) such that the American Ryegrass will provide a green cover during the winter months but will die out when the temperatures increase to the point which allow the warm-season grass to regrow. A method to maintain green coverage of turf year-round including planting a warm season grass, and over-seeding the warm season grass with American Ryegrass. The method where the American Ryegrass is selected from the group consisting of breeder's codes: APMT001, APMT002, APMT003, APMT004, APMT005, APMT006, APMT007, APMT008, APMT009, APMT010, and APMT011.

An apparatus for applying a desired amount of mechanical abrasion to plants and selective cutting of undesirable plant material. The apparatus includes a base, a brush and an elevation device for maintaining the base at desirable height. The base has a first longitudinal axis and a plurality of grooves, the grooves being oriented approximately perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis. The brush has a second longitudinal axis and a plurality of bristles and/or blades extending outwardly from the second longitudinal axis. The brush is attached to the apparatus such that the second longitudinal axis is substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis and the brush is rotatable about the second longitudinal axis. The brush is spaced from the base such that the plurality of bristles engage the plurality of grooves. The base is adjustable enabling the operator to move the base closer or further from the rotating brush/blades.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a vegetation management system each capable of managing vegetation in such a manner as to maintain a high quality state and achieve uniform growth. In a vegetation management system, an image acquiring apparatus acquires an image in which vegetation corresponding to a target of management is captured. An analysis unit analyzes the image as at least input information and outputs a predetermined analysis result. Then, a determination unit determines work contents to be performed for the vegetation, according to the analysis result. A work apparatus performs a process for executing work for the vegetation according to the work contents. For example, the present technology is applicable to a management system that manages natural grass.
