| Abstract/Contents: | "Shade can be a major growth limiting factor to bermudagrasses (Beard, 1997; Jones, 1985; McBee and Holt 1966; Nada, 1980). Bermudagrass cultivars have been documented to differ in shade tolerance (Gaussoin et al., 1988; McBee and Holt, 1966). This study evaluated the turfgrass performance and total non-structural carbohydrates of three burmudagrass cultivars: 'Tifway' [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy], 'TifSport [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy], and 'Celebration' [Cynodon datylon (L.) Pers.] and 'Meyer' Japanese zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) at two mowing heights (16 and 25 mm) under continuous shade exposure. Four shade treatments (0, 41, 58, and 71%) were applied continuously during the summer and autumn months of 2002 and 2003 to turfgrasses grown in pots. The resulting Daily Total of PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) (DTP; mol m-2 d-1) was calculated for each shade level. Meyer Japanese zoysiagrass maintained acceptable turfgrass quality under 71% shade cloth during summer months at both mowing heights. Celebration demonstrated best shade tolerance among bermudagrass cultivars, with acceptable turf quality under 58% shade cloth during both summer and autumn months. Tifway and TifSport maintained acceptable TQ under 41% shade. Under 58 and 71% shade, total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) concentration of roots and rhizomes did not differ among the three bermudagrass cultivars and Meyer Japanese zoysiagrass at equal mowing heights. A curvilinear decrease in TNC content of roots and rhizomes occurred with decreasing DTP among all turfgrasses." |
