Abstract/Contents:Discusses several charactertistics of grass that should be considered when selecting a species for the transition zone of the United States: cold tolerance, leaf texture, appearance, and growth. Briefly mentions research conducted by the University of Arkansas comparing dormant seeding and traditional seeding of bermudagrass. Reports that dormant seeding produced greater turfgrass coverage. States that "successful bermudagrass management programs need to place importance on all of the primary cultural practices like fertilization, irrigation, and mowing as well as secondary cultural practices such as aerification, topdressing, pest management, etc." Describes applications of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Discusses irrigation, mowing, and hericide application practices stating that "when bermudagrass absorbs and translocates these herbicides, turfgrass cell division is also inhibited similarily to susceptible weed species resulting in clubbed roots that are not able to peg down as they would in a non-treated area." Concludes that "managing athletic fields in the transition zone can be ticky...therefore, it is always important to keep up to date with what is going on within the turfgrass industry in your particular region."
