| Abstract/Contents: | "Poverty grass (Danthonia spicata (L.) P. beauv. Ex Roem & Schult. ) results presented here are part of ongoing studies to evaluate its adaptation for golf courses as part of low maintenance natural communities at Lincoln University of Missouri. Because its natural adaptation to shade and poor soils, poverty grass could be established in golf course roughs. However, among the challenges for adoption are the lack of commercially available seed and lack of information for long-term management as a turf that will be needed. Some of the summary highlights of this research include: High quality seed can be collected from natural stands with dense populations of poverty grass for commercial purposes. Poverty grass does not compete well with fast growing volunteer vegetation. Germination of poverty grass seed is affected by light, physical scarification, stratification, and temperature. Surveys should be conducted on land to be developed into golf courses before construction to assess how much poverty grass and other native vegetation is already present. By identifying its occurrence and abundance, costs of establishment, especially in rough areas could be reduced." |
