| Abstract/Contents: | "The production and application of fertilizers are not only costly but can be harmful to the environment if misapplied; therefore, sustainability research has aimed to investigate alternatives to traditional nitrogen fertilizer applications. Biostimulants, including microbial inoculants, have been touted to enhance plant nutrition, growth, and stress tolerance, but research on warm-season turfgrass is limited. Therefore, the objective of our research was to compare the establishment, quality, and function of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) in response to commercially available microbial inoculants (Klebsiella variicola, Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, and Azospirillum brasilense) in field and controlled environment experiments. Microbial inoculant applications in the field did not consistently increase the normalized vegetation difference index, turfgrass color, or turfgrass quality of hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. × Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt Davy] compared with the nontreated check. However, although the difference was not always significant, inoculated hybrid bermudagrass often exhibited higher carbon efflux measurements than the nontreated check, but the results were inoculant-specific. No microbial inoculant resulted in greater common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] root or shoot production in the greenhouse. Perennial cropping systems such as turfgrass may create greater challenges for microbial inoculant use and performance because of the presence of endemic microbial populations that are already adapted to survive and proliferate in turfgrass environments. Consequently, future research should examine inoculation frequency, soil and plant persistence, and the use of microbial blends to determine best management practices leading to the greatest opportunity for colonization and subsequent turfgrass benefits." |
