| Abstract/Contents: | "A total of 5660 plots of paspalum have been established in Georgia ranging from mother nursery and increase plots of about 500 ft2 each to 2'x2' spaced plants. Of this total, 1134 plots are planted at Blairsville (altitude 1530' - 34° 50.44N, 83° 55.80W) for the ultimate field evaluation for cold hardiness/cold shock/recoverability. Mowing height ranges from 5/32" (green) to ½" (most plots) to 1" (average going into the winter months). Ongoing studies involve greens evaluation, establishment (from sod, stolons) utilizing mycorrhizal enhancement, herbicide management, traffic-wear-fertility interactions, overseeding, and insect resistance (mole cricket and fall armyworm). Somaclonal variation resulting from tissue culture is being utilized as a selection tool, especially for the finer, textured paspalums. A cold temperature chamber has been used to induce cold shock (-9°C) and recovery tests on several paspalum ecotypes and in conjunction with electrolyte leakage tests, the relative cold thermal threshold of 17°F (-8°C) has been verified. Variability among ecotypes in the current collection is available for improvement of winterhardiness." |
