| Abstract/Contents: | "Several selections of bermudagrass and other turfgrass species were evaluated for turf quality characteristics under different levels of light intensity. Light levels of approximately 35, 60, and 100% and 25, 35, and 100% of incident light, respectively, were used in two independent studies. A variety of bermudagrass, 'No-Mow (FB-137)', exhibited exceptional tolerance to low light intensity. Turf quality of No-Mow was better when grown under reduced light than when exposed to full sunlight. No-Mow also exhibited more shade tolerance than Common St. Augustinegrass. Bermudagrass selection T-135 showed some tolerance to shading but less than No-Mow. Other grasses, including Pensacola bahiagrass, Meyer zoysia, and two additional varieties of bermudagrass, generally were unsatisfactory." |
