| Abstract/Contents: | "Homeowners and local regional governments in Florida desire low maintenance ground covers. Therefore four xerophytic turfgrasses were evaluated for persistence. Turfgrasses were established since late July 1990 along an access road to a public park and Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Percent cover was determined after eight months for commercial Argentine Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) and three experimental grasses: Bahiagrass cv. 'Rapid Cover Polycross' (RCP-2) (Paspalum notatum); St. Augustinegrass cv. FX-10 (Stenotaphyrum secundatum); and Buffalograss cv. 'Prairie' (Buchloe dactyloides). Eighty replicates in four plots using a rapid establishment method preceded the preliminary data. Argentine Bahiagrass and St. Augustinegrass cv. FX-10 were the good performers while Buffalograss cv, 'Prairie' and RCP-2 were poor performers." |
