| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles several turfgrass species that may be used for overseeding bermudagrass sports fields. States that "one of the only downsides to bermudagrass sports turf is that it experiences a long winter dormancy period, especially in the upper regions of its use. During the dormancy period, the turf is not aesthetically pleasing and is much more prone to wear injury during heavy use...sports turf managers have used overseeding with a cool season grass as a means to provide an actively growing turf that is both attractive and can withstand traffic during this dormancy period." Lists annual ryegrass, perennial ryegrass, intermediate ryegrass, meadow fescue, and tetraploid ryegrass as "major overseeding species." Reports the results of an overseeding study, stating that "all species tested in [the] trial germinated within seven days of planting at all locations, but the ryegrass entries generally had the greatest seedling vigor and establishment rates and were not different from each other." |
