| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted in Tucson, Arizona during 1966 to determine the root growth of bermudagrass varieties at three mowing heights. Details methods and materials used during the experiment, noting that "after the first mowing...each replicate was split into three strips. One strip was left unmowed, one was mowed weekly with a standard reel type mower at 3/4 inch and the third mowed weekly with a greens mower at 5/16 inch." Reports that "there were apparent differences between [among] varieties but they were not statistically significant." Provides a table that reinforces the differences numerically. Concludes that "the result may be either a reflection of greater density in the low cutting or of reduced vigor due to thatch development in the higher cuts, perhaps both." Mentions the potential of water runoff and subsequent soil moisture to affect root growth. |
