| Abstract/Contents: | "Reduced light intensity or shading can be a problematic environmental stress to warm-season turfgrasses. Often shading comes from desirable trees, shrubs, or artificial structures that cannot be removed from the landscape. Therefore, alternative methods or management strategies must be utilized to grow and maintain an acceptable turfgrass quality in a shaded environment. Iron is sometimes foliar applied to give turfgrasses a darker green color and may be beneficial for maintaining an acceptable turfgrass quality under shade. Research was conducted to examine the impact shade and iron fertilization had on two warm-season turfgrasses and investigate whether iron fertilization has the potential to be beneficial under varying levels of light under greenhouse conditions. 'Diamond' zoysiagrass [Zoysia matrella (L.) Merr] and 'Tifgrand' bermudagrass (Cynodon transvaalensis Burt-Davy × C. dactylon) were grown in pure sand, under three light levels (Control, 40, and 60% shade), and treated with three levels of iron applied foliar as FeSO4·H2O (0, 3, and 5 kg ha-1 of Fe). Turfgrasses were evaluated based on the parameters of visual turfgrass quality (TQ), normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI), shoot chlorophyll content, clipping yield, plant tissue nutrient concentrations, and total root biomass. Turfgrass cultivar and shade level had significant impacts to TQ and NDVI for most weeks whereas, iron significantly impacted TQ only for most weeks. Diamond zoysiagrass produced consistently higher TQ ratings than Tifgrand bermudagrass. Both turfgrasses had acceptable TQ scores under light to moderate shade and only displayed unacceptable TQ under 60% shade. Applications of 3 and 5 kg ha-1 of Fe showed higher TQ scores compared to the control, illustrating that iron fertilization have beneficial impacts to shaded and non-shaded turfgrasses by improving visual turfgrass quality." |
