| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "turfgrass growth and development are inhibited when plant light interception is suboptimal." Presents a study conducted at Clemson University "to determine how 64 percent continuous shade impacted 42 bermudagrass cultivars' growth and development." Reports that "by week eight [of the study], all cultivars grown in shade had significant decline in turf quality compared to those grown in full sun." Mentions that "cultivars produced significantly higher chlorophyll concentrations at week four when grown in shade, however, this response was transient...By week eight, most cultivars chlorophyll concentration declined." States that "results indicate the genetic variability of shade tolerance exists among bermudagrasses and future bermudagrass improvement focusing on shade tolerance is promising. Concludes that "research will further analyze the relatively shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant cultivars to provide insight into the physiological mechanisms associated with such variation that exists among bermudagrass shade responses." |
