| Abstract/Contents: | "An increased demand on limited water supplies has led to a growing interest in turfgrasses tolerant of lower irrigation regimes. One potential source of drought-hardy turfgrass is the perennial Triticeae wheatgrasses. These grasses have thrived in semi-arid regions, mainly through dormancy in the dry periods. However, dormancy is undesirable in residential and commercial settings where irrigation can be applied regularly. In this study we used a line-source gradient of irrigation on seven species of turf-type grasses, with a primary focus on crested wheatgrass. Our objective was to determine what level of irrigation will prevent dormancy in crested wheatgrass, and compare the color and shoot regrowth after mowing between it and the other turfgrass species at different irrigation levels. The crested wheatgrasses did not enter dormancy under the moderate irrigation level of approximately 60% evapotranspiration replacement. Under all irrigation levels, tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass had the highest color ratings, due to genetically darker color. Shoot regrowth differences between the species were minimal, and also indicated dormancy only under the lowest irrigation levels." |
