| Abstract/Contents: | "Blue gramas (Boutelous gracilis) excellent drought tolerance and ability to withstand and survive seasonal temperature extremes with minimal inputs make it a potential candidate for use along roadsides, out-of-play areas of golf courses, cemeteries, etc. Our objective is to determine whether blue grama is a viable utility grass alternative in the mid-Atlantic transition zone under minimal establishment inputs. Field observation studies include evaluating commercially available cultivars, determining optimal seeding rates, and assessing suitable planting dates. Five commercially available cultivars of blue grama (Alma; Bad River; BirdsEye; Hachita; Lovington) were evaluated for emergence and establishment capabilities with minimal inputs. Five seeding rates (0.49, 2.4, 4.9, 9.8, and 19.5 g m-2 ) of two cultivars (BirdsEye and Lovington) were evaluated for percent ground cover and time to establish acceptable cover. Both studies were planted 14 May 2022(1?) and initiated with approximately 6 mm of irrigation. BirdsEye and Lovington were utilized to determine optimal planting dates based on soil temperatures throughout the growing season at 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 20°C, 15°C, 10°C with a single supplemental irrigation event to initiate germination. All cultivars attained acceptable emergence and plot coverage of 70% by four to six weeks. Acceptable coverage was achieved at three and four weeks for BirdsEye and Lovington, respectively, at a 19.5 g m-2 seeding rate.. Acceptable coverage was not achieved with a 0.49 g m-2 seeding rate of BirdsEye, while Lovington took seven weeks. Spring plantings at 15°C and 20°C were the only viably acceptable plantings, achieving 70% target coverage in four to six weeks. Plantings at 25°C , late season 20°CF and 15°C , and 10°C in the spring or fall were unsuccessful. Our data indicates blue grama can succeed in the mid-Atlantic region under minimal-input conditions and would be a viable utility grass option." |
