| Abstract/Contents: | "Growth of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds. cv. pencross) was quantified relative to that of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) by measuring plant length, fresh weight of shoots and roots, and an index of rooting depth that represented the vertical distribution of the root system. Growth responses of each species were measured both in soil columns and in root boxes. In the soil column test at two soil moisture levels, saturated (permanently wet) and dry (watering at 150 ml/column/week), plant length, shoot and root fresh weight of annual bluegrass were all reduced under dry conditions. Creeping bentgrass responded similarly, although the extent of the reduction in its growth under dry conditions was smaller than that for annual bluegrass. Indexes of rooting depth, however, were increased under dry conditions and this increase was especially marked for creeping bentgrass. When both species were grown in a root box at soil moisture levels ranging from 25.2% (w/w) to 48.3% (w/w), creeping bentgrass produced longer plant length over a wide range of soil moisture levels. The root system of creeping bentgrass was shown to be deeper than that for annual bluegrass. Furthermore, root length of creeping bentgrass was not reduced under dry conditions even at the lower levels of soil moisture. These results indicate that creeping bentgrass is more tolerant of low soil moisture levels than annual bluegrass, because of its deeper rooting characteristics" |
