| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles bermudagrass and states that "the hybrid bermudagrasses, predominantly Tifway (419), have been tremendous performers for many years in the southern United States." Lists characteristics of hybrid bermudagrasses, including "1. great playing quality"; "2. ease of weed control"; "3. extremely low disease/insect susceptibility"; "4. exceptional mowing quality"; "5. strong recuperative ability"; "6. reasonable installation cost"; and "7. excellent winter hardiness when properly managed." Compares bermudagrass hybrids to zoysiagrass and paspalum, stating that "hybrid bermudagrasses have much better tolerance to overseeding and provide a better spring transition from cool-season overseeded grasses than zoysias or paspalums." |
