| Abstract/Contents: | "Traffic injury caused by foot- or athlete-surface interaction is one of the most critical problems athletic field managers face in maintaining the surface playability and aesthetic quality of athletic fields. Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is the most widely used turfgrass species on athletic fields in the transitional climatic zone. A 2-year field study was conducted to evaluate nine bermudagrass cultivars for their persistence and surface playability under simulated fall cleat traffic. The experiment was conducted in Stillwater, OK, on a natural loam soil. Treatments were arranged as a split-block design with three replications. Traffic was applied for 6 weeks in Fall 2019 and 2020 using a Baldree traffic simulator, which generated 10 traffic events per week; each traffic event resulted in 678 cleat marks/m2. 'Bimini' was generally found to be the most persistent grass under traffic for aesthetic properties, and Astro and Tifway were the least persistent. Surface playability was affected by simulated traffic stress as shear strength (SS) declined and surface hardness (SH) increased, over time. Bimini had greater SS than 'Astro' and 'OKC1131' (Tahoma 31®) by 1.9 and 1.4 N·m, respectively. SS of 'DT-1' (TifTuf®) and Tahoma 31 and SH of 'OKC1134' (NorthBridge®) were least affected by simulated traffic stress. Overall, surface playability characteristics of NorthBridge, 'Bimini', 'OKC1119' (Latitude 36®), TifTuf, Tahoma 31, and 'Riley Rileys Super Sport' (Celebration®) were least affected by traffic. Findings illustrate bermudagrass cultivars can vary in visual persistence and surface playability." |
