| Abstract/Contents: | "An investigation was conducted to evaluate the growth and adaptability of ten selected warm-season turfgrass species under the environmental condition of Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia. The establishment rate, yield fresh weight and quality assessments, as evaluation parameters, showed that there were significant differences among these various turfgrass species. Adalyd seashore paspalum and Tifgreen bermudagrass showed the best adaptation, if properly managed. On the other hand, Tifway bermudagrass and Variegata St. Augustinegrass were poorly adapted. Although Egyptian crabgrass showed better growth and good quality, its use may be limited due to its low cold tolerance. Moreover, there were some observations that may limit the use of other turfgrasses, such as the cold stress effect on the common bermudagrass, the very low establishment rate of Korean velvetgrass and the vertical growth habit and low density of local bermudagrass." |
