| Abstract/Contents: | "Saint Augustinegrass is currently used in central and southern Arkansas. It is mainly used for shaded lawns, as it is among the most shade tolerant warm-season turfgrass. 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 and establishment rates. This experiment sought to determine the stolon growth rate and establishment rate of several commercially available cultivars and genotypes of St. Augustinegrass. Twenty commercially available cultivars and ten experimental genotypes were first grown as plugs in the greenhouse and then planted in research plots in Fayetteville, Ark. Plant materials were provided by University of Florida, Texas A&M University, Mississippi State University, North Carolina State University, and Double Springs Grass Farm in Searcy, Ark. 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. On 13 September, 'Floratam', 'Texas Common', 'Sapphire', 'Floraverde', and WS had the most overall coverage. Results from this study are intended to help residents of Arkansas make informed decisions when selecting turfgrass cultivars." |
