Abstract/Contents: | "Efforts have intensified in the past five years to develop finer textured, aggressive and winter hardy seed-propagated cultivars of both species. Our study included some of the newest seeded zoysiagrass (Z-entries) experimentals from the USDA; Guymon bermudagrass and several experimental bermudagrasses (CD-entries); and one zoysiagrass entry (JM 107) form Jacklin Seed Company. However, crabgrass competition in summer, 1989 and possibly some winter injury in 1989-90, diminished the expected turf cover on these plots. Also, bermudagrass contamination of several zoysiagrass plots delayed ratings until bermudagrass was successfully rogued with glyphosate in 1991 and 1992. All plots are now well established and are being evaluated in 1993 for quality. A group of five USGA - sponsored bermudagrass entries was added to our seeded, warm-season grass study in spring, 1990. These are currently maintained at both 3/4 and 2-inch mowing heights. The bermudagrass check plot, 'Numex Sahara', winterkilled in 1990-91. |
