Abstract/Contents: | Provides recommendations for cool-season grass to bermudagrass conversion on athletic fields. Suggests that "probably the biggest negative to using bermudagrass on fields would be the straw-brown color associated with the winter dormancy period. This can be overcome by a proper overseeding program." Highlights various aspects of bermudagrass conversion, including "choosing a bermudagrass cultivar"; "establishment process"; "timing"; "seeding rates"; "germination times"; "irrigation"; "post-establishment fertility"; and "mowing." |
