| Abstract/Contents: | "American football traffic is intense and places a high level of stress on turfgrass. Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon and C. dactylon x C. transvaalensis) has moderate wear tolerance and excellent recuperative potential and is the dominate choice for grassing football fields in the southern US. New cultivars of bermudagrass are coming into the marketplace and need to be evaluated for their traffic tolerance. In the fall of 2018 an experiment was initiated at the R. R. Foil Plant Science Research Center in Mississippi State, MS to evaluate the traffic tolerance of six bermudagrass cultivars. The cultivars evaluated were 'Tifway', 'Celebration', 'Lattitude 36', 'Northbridge', 'TifTuf' and MSB285. All cultivars were established from sod and had been planted a minimum of 6 weeks before traffic was applied. The plot area was a native soil capped with 4 inches of sand. Traffic was applied using a Redexim Charterhouse Model 007 aerifier equipped with Baldree traffic simulator feet. Application of traffic began on September 11 and concluded on November 10, 2017. Traffic treatments were control (no traffic), 1 pass per week, 3 passes per week and five passes per week. Date collected included visual quality and cover ratings, CM 1000 chlorophyll meter readings, NDVI and Clegg Hardness. The 5 passes per week plots declined in turf cover as the experiment went on with some plots being reduced to 10% cover by the end of the study. Data on spring green up and recovery will also be discussed." |
