| Abstract/Contents: | "Researchers at Oklahoma State University are screening common bermudagrass selections to determine their capacity for shade resistance. Bermudagrass is aggressive, adapted to most soil conditions, has relatively good salt and drought tolerance, and is resistant or tolerant to most disease and insect pests. However, bermudagrass does not tolerate shade nearly as well as most grasses. Along tree-lined fairways and shaded golf course tees, bermudagrass is commonly replaced with less desirable species. The discovery or development of shade-resistant bermudagrasses would make an important contribution to the golf course and other turfgrass industries. The objectives of this study are to screen bermudagrass selections for their effectiveness in shaded environments and to determine turfgrass characteristics that may be useful for screening future selections for potential shade tolerance. Progess to date includes: A wide range of shade resistance and turf quality characteristics exists among the selections but three of the standards, 'TifGrand', 'Patriot', and 'Celebration' tend to perform better in terms of turf quality than all but a few of the selections. A single cross of two of the best performing selections was attempted in 2009 but was unsuccessful because of poorly matched physical characteristics (vigorous vs. nonvigorous growth). All but nine of the 45 selections maintained acceptable visual quality (greater than 6 on a 1-9 scale) throughout the 2010 growing season in sun, but none of the selections and only one standard ('Patriot') maintained acceptable visual quality throughout the season in shade." |
