| Abstract/Contents: | "Jackrabbits (Lepus spp.) are native to shortgrass prairie regions and thrive on overgrazed grasslands. There are minimal records stating their pest status. However, construction activities reducing habitat combined with extended drought has increased damage of bermudagrass at golf courses, residential lawns, and the Texas Tech Turf Research Facility. The objective of this research was to evaluate topdressing and fertilizer treatments to determine if more rapid recovery could be achieved and to evaluate the improvements to foliar characteristics. Soil samples were obtained for nutrient analysis. A randomized complete block design with strip-split plot treatment arrangement was established. Commercially available fertilizers were applied at 49 kg N/ha and strips were topdressed with 0.64 cm of sand, cotton burr compost, or left untreated. Irrigation was applied at approximately 2.54 cm per week to promote recovery beginning in late May. Fertilizers were applied through summer months on 3-4 week intervals. Visual turf quality and percent bermudagrass cover were recorded each week. Objective coverage and color data were obtained through digital image analysis (DIA) and NDVI weekly. Percent cover from DIA ranged from 7.1 to 29.4% with a mean of 15.1% at the initiation of the trial on 6 June. Experimental units greened and initiated growth consistently with irrigation, warmer temperatures, and treatments. However, no differences in visual or objective measurements were identified through August. This suggests fertilizers and topdressing treatments did not alter the rate of recovery for 'TifSport' hybrid bermudagrass. High variability in regrowth among treated plots may have lessened statistical differences." |
