| Abstract/Contents: | "Dog parks are parks dedicated to letting dogs run free in a fenced environment and interact with other dogs. Dog parks are one of the fastest growing types of parks in the USA. An experiment was conducted to evaluate several different warm season grass cultivars from multiple species for their use in dog parks. Cultivars of hybrid bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis), zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica, Z. matrella), seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum), Centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides), and St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secondatum) were planted from sod in a randomized complete design in the dogpark in Starkville, MS, USA, in 2009. The grasses were rated monthly for turf quality and turf coverage. Winter traffic damaged the plots of Stenotaphrum secondatum and Eremochloa ophiuroides reducing their plot coverage to < 40%. The summer of 2010 was very dry and the plot area received only half the normal amount of rain. Lack of rain combined with dog traffic caused the plot to be of low quality and lose turf coverage. The only plots that maintained full coverage throughout the experiment and into the spring of 2011 were grassed with Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis." |
