Abstract/Contents: | SUMMARY: "The effects of four nitrogen levels on root-rhizome organic matter, root viability and turf color of five bermudagrass cultivars for two spring shoot initiation periods were determined recently in a Texas A&M University field study. The researchers who conducted the study report there were significant differences in the rate of decline during spring and increase during the summer growing season in root-rhizome organic matter for 'Common', 'Tifgreen', 'Santa Ana', 'FB-49' and 'Texturf-10' cultivars. 'Tifgreen' was the most responsive and 'Common' the least to changes in season and nitrogen fertilizer levels. Root viability scores of the five cultivars increased during the first spring of the study, declined slightly during the summer, and declined moderately from 3.5 to 2.7 during the follwing spring. Nitrogen application reduced the rate of decline the second spring. Nitrogen application reduced the rate of decline the second spring. The Texas researchers report there was no significant interaction of bermudagrass cultivar x nitrogen level for root-rhizome organic matter, visual root viability or turf color." |
