Abstract/Contents: | "Successful establishment and grow th of newly planted trees in the landscape is dependent on many factors. Weed pressure and water conservation are typically acheived with either organic mulches or chemical herbicides applied over the root ball of the newly planted tree. In the landscape, eliminating turfgrass from the root zone of trees may be more complicated than resource competition. Studies have shown that tall fescue (Festuca arundinaceae Schreb.) has allelopathic properties on pecan trees [Carya illinoiensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch]. Well-manicured tal fescue turf in the landscape may have negative effects on the establishment and growth of landscape trees as well. A study was designed to examine the effects of popular turfgrass on the growth of newly planted pecan and redbud (Cercis canadensis L.). Results demonstrate that the presence of turfgrass over the root zone of trees negatively impacts tree growth. Through two growing seasons, every growth parameter measured on redbuds (caliper, height, shoot growth, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, leaf area, and leaf weight.) was significantly reduced by the presence of turf. However, the warm season bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] was less inhibitied than the cool season grasses. The affects of turfgrass on pecan growth was less significant; however, caliper, leaf area, and root dry weight were significantly reduced when grown with turf." |
