| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrasses are used for recreational, aesthetic and functional purposes in man's planned landscape. In many functional and aesthetic use sites, the possibility exists for grasses to be used that can adequately perform with lower inputs of resources and cultural practices than that of recreational turfed sites. This study evaluated the performance of four turfgrasses under optimum and deficit irrigation regimes and moderate to very low nitrogen fertilization for a three-year period. The turfgrasses were experimental lines or cultivars of seeded bermudagrass, tall fescue, zoysiagrass, and buffalograss. It was found that variation in turfgrass performance existed among the grasses examined. The seeded bermudagrass gave poor performance because of an uncontrolled Eriophyid mite, Bermudagrass Mite (Eriophes cynodoniensis Sayed) infestation and was eliminated from the study. Weed activity decreased with lower irrigation treatments and Buffalograss showed the lowest weed activity among cultivars across all treatments. Tall fescue decreased in turfgrass quality, with all input treatments, by the third year. Buffalograss and zoysiagrass were shown to offer the best opportunity for reduced irrigation input by performing the same at 100% and 70% of calculated evapotranspiration for warm-season turfgrasses when fertilized at the 0.98 or 1.96 Kg N 100 m-2 fertility level." |
