Abstract/Contents: | "Different responses among bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) cultivars to cold temperatures can occur under normal winter conditions especially at the northern boundaries of adaptation. Susceptibility of bermudagrass to winter damage has been shown to be affected by N, late season fertilization using P and K alone or in combination. This study was designed 1) to assess the relative cold tolerance in bermudagrass cultivars and selections and 2) to evaluate any differential nutritional responses to nitrogen and potassium ratios from late season fertilization regarding the cold tolerance among cultivars and selections. Bermudagrass cultivars and selections were established in 1986 and maintained with five fertilizer applications per year at 49 kg N ha-1 per applciation and alternating with 45N-O-O and 19N:1.7P:8.3K fertilizer. Plots were subdivided in fall 1990 and received N:K ratios of 98:49, 49:49, and 49:98 kg ha-1 using 45N-O-O and O-O-42K for the fifth fertilization in October. Samples from each treatment were exposed to -5C in a chamber and a set placed in a greenhouse not subject to freezing temperatures. Shoot recovery growth (g m-2) was determined by harvesting after 30d in a greenhouse and following freezing. Fall fertilization regime did not affect cold tolerance; however, cultivar differences were noted for each year and there was a cultivar by year interaction." |
