| Abstract/Contents: | "Covers and blankets are often used to reduce erosion, retain soul moisture, increase soil temperature, and enhance plant germination and establishment rates. There are reports of various effects of seed cover technology on the germination and establishment of warm-season grasses. The objective of this study was to determine how diverse seed covers influence the establishment of seeded bermudagrass, buffalograss, centipedegrass, seashore paspalum, and zoysiagrass. Plots were seeded on 9 June 2007 with various species and covered with seed-cover technologies including Curlex, Deluxe, Futerra, jute, poly jute, polypropylene, straw, straw blanket, thermal blanket, and an uncovered control. Overall, Curlex, Deluxe, Futerra products, jute, poly jute, straw blankets, thermal blankets and the untreated check allowed for the greatest establishment of these seeded warm-season grasses. Uncovered plots performed well in 2008 suggesting that seed covers are not always needed for successful establishment. Typically, most seed-cover technologies are useful for the establishment of warm-season grasses from seed. Especially for reducing erosion during establishment." |
