Abstract/Contents: | "Saint Augustinegrass is used on shaded lawns, as it is among the most shade tolerant arm season turfgrasses. Many new cultivars are being developed and are being considered for use in Arkansas but prior to their adoption more data is needed on their growth. The objective of this experiment was to quantify differences in growth characteristics among several commercially available cultivars as well as several experimental cultivars. Twenty commercially available cultivars and ten experimental genotypes were first grown as plugs in a greenhouse and then planted in research plots in Fayetteville, Ark. Leaf and stolon characteristics as well as color varied among cultivars. Many of the new cultivars tested in this study have desirable attributes such as improved winter hardiness, enhanced turf color, and faster establishment rates, which may make them desirable for future use among Arkansas turf producers. Results from this study are intended to help residents of Arkansas make informed decisions when selecting turfgrass cultivars." |
