Abstract/Contents:"Seed-propagated cultivars of bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. with improved cold tolerance offer new possibilities for the transition zone between warm- and cool-season grasses. Little is known of the best way to manage the establishment of these grasses to enhance their cold tolerance and spring recovery. The purpose of this study was to determine how seeding rate (0.4, 1.1, 2.2, 6.5 pure-live-seed-count (PLSC) cm-2), late-season fertilization (complete fertilizer applied 6 weeks before first fall frost), and a scalp mowing treatment (13 mm in November) interact on spring recovery of 'Cheyenne' bermudagrass. Two identical field trials were established in 1991 and 1992 in Idaho (USDA Hardiness Zone 5) and were monitored repeatedly for spring/summer ground coverage. Results showed that cultural factors could alter the point of 50% spring ground coverage by up to 53 days. Cultural factors interacted in the 8-year full-sun trial but did not interact in the 3-year partial-shade trial. Overall, a medium seeding rate (1.1 to 2.2 PLSC cm-2) produced a more consistent spring recovery, although certain trial-year combinations favored other rates. Full fertilizer improved spring recovery in two trial-years and decreased it in four, linked perhaps to winter weather. Fertilizer effects on spring recovery were detectible four years after the last fertilizer application. Scalp mowing and seeding rate effects persisted in interactions for up to three years after planting. This study demonstrated that establishment cultural decisions are not transitory, but can affect bermudagrass grown in cooler climates for multiple years."
