| Abstract/Contents: | "Bermudagrass and zoysiagrass are two of the most commonly used turfgrass species on golf course fairways and tees in the southern U.S. Shade from trees is common on golf courses and limits turfgrass growth. Additionally, turfgrasses are often subjected to traffic, which damages turf. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of shade and traffic on bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars. Five cultivars of bermudagrass and seven cultivars of zoysiagrass were maintained under typical golf course fairway conditions. Plots were grown in either full sun or were shaded with a 50% light reducing fabric. The cultivars containing the highest coverage after two years of growth in continuous shade were Cavalier, Diamond, Meyer, Palisades and Zorro zoysiagrass, as well as Princess 77, and Riviera bermudagrass. The cultivars having the lowest coverage in shade were Patriot and Tifsport bermudagrass and Zenith zoysiagrass. Princess 77 and Riviera bermudagrass, as well as Cavalier, Meyer, and Zorro zoysiagrass had the highest coverage when trafficked regardless of shade treatment. Selecting cultivars well adapted to shade and tolerant of trafficking will help golf course and sports field managers improve playing conditions while reducing maintenance inputs and costs." |
