| Abstract/Contents: | "Bermudagrass sport fields in the transition zone are often overseeded during the winter months to provide an actively growing turf while the bermudagrass is dormant. While winter overseeding is a well-accepted practice in the turf industry, there are negative effects to germination with the presence of actively growing turf. Dormant seeding bermudagrass has been shown to be an effective means to renovate areas of the field that have been thinned due to excessive wear and traffic. Unfortunately, the field may still be receiving traffic from play while seedlings are germinating. This project was conducted to investigate how different mowing heights and traffic treatments affect germination of dormant seeded bermudagrass. 'Riviera' bermudagrass was dormant-seeded into an overseeded perennial ryegrass turf at 1.0 lb pure live seed/1000 ft2 on 6 March 2008. Three mowing height treatments and four traffic timing treatments were evaluated for their effects on establishment of the dormant- seeded bermudagrass. Bermudagrass germination and establishment was almost nonexistent in this turf area and was not enhanced by any of the mowing height or traffic treatments. Additional studies associated with this project have demonstrated that ryegrass competition must be removed to successfully establish bermudagrass via dormant seeding." |
