Abstract/Contents:"With the expansion of improved cold-tolerant seeded bermudagrasses (Cynodon dactylon var. dactylon) into the transition zone of the United States, turfgrass managers need a greater understanding of how to effectively utilize turf blankets. Four blanket treatments comprised of an uncovered control, black or white woven polypropylene, and an experimental aluminum composite mesh were applied to a mature stand of 'Riviera' bermudagrass prior to the first frost events in the fall of 2004 and 2005, and the covers remained in place until the last predicted frost event of the springs of 2005 and 2006. The black blanket provided the best low temperature protection and maintained the highest turf quality into late November in each trial. However, black blankets reduced spring quality and greening rates due to low light penetration. The white blanket provided greater than 80% spring greening and acceptable turf quality ratings by mid April each year. The aluminum mesh blanket provided generally desirable, somewhat more stable modifications in temperature and bermudagrass response than black or white blankets and provided the highest visual quality ratings at trial completion in both years. All blanket sources exhibited both desirable qualities and limitations that should be considered in their selection and use on bermudagrass."
