| Abstract/Contents: | Root observations were made of 'Floratam' St. Augustinegrass and 'Tifgreen' bermudagrass using the Texas A&M rhizotron. Results show that daily root growth of both species averaged on inch/day during the summer months. The root system of both species underwent a series of distinct changes in early spring. One week after the first new leaves were initiated, a rapid death of the root system and root loss continued for three weeks. Cultural practices such as delayed spring nitrogen, mowing, and verticutting may be beneficial. |
