| Abstract/Contents: | "Reduced light conditions are one of the limiting factors for bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon spp. (L.)] growth and performance. Spring greening up (SGU) of bermudagrasses after winter dormancy may also be greatly affected by many factors including shade conditions. Therefore, research objectives were to evaluate six bermudagrass cultivars, 'Tifway', 'TiftNo.4', 'Celebration', 'Princess 77', 'Riviera' and 'Yukon' for spring green-up in 2006 and 2007 using the sunlight as a growth limiting factor. Dormant plugs of bermudagrass sod were harvested from the field and placed in lysimeters 41 cm in height and 15 cm in diameter that were located in a 55% continuous shade area adjacent to the Turfgrass Research Center at Clemson University. Data collected included visual SGU ratings, visual turfgrass quality (TQ), total clipping chlorophyll, and root total non-structural carbohydrates (TNC). Shade did not delay Celebration and TiftNo.4 SGU in 2006 or 2007. However, shade delayed Yukon and Riviera SGU 11% and 50%, respectively, compared to full-sunlight on 9 May 2007. Turf quality of Celebration and TiftNo.4 increased by ~1.3 and ~1.7 rating units, respectively, compared to other bermudagrass cultivars in July when grown under shade. Under full-sunlight, minimal cultivar SGU and TQ differences were noted. In conclusion, compared to full-sunlight, TiftNo.4 and Celebration SGU and summer TQ were least affected by shade, while Riviera and Princess 77 showed greatest SGU delays when grown under shade. Although cultivar summer TQ differences were noted under shade, all bermudagrass cultivars TQ readings were below the acceptable threshold of 7 by 31 July in both years." |
