| Abstract/Contents: | "Fourteen bermudagrass varieties and experimentals plus a local selection of buffalograsses (Buchloe dactyloides) were vegetatively planted in Columbia on August 1, 1983. Turf is mowed at 5/8 inch as needed with a reel mower. The area is fertilized with a total of 1 or 2 lb N/1000 sq. ft. during the summer. Turf is irrigated to prevent severe drought stress. All of the Kansas State selections were well established after one year. Other entries, including some of the 'Tif' series, were slower to establish and several plots winterkilled in 1983-84. These were replanted in summer, 1984 or replaced with other varieties. Kansas State cultivars and selections and 'Mich. C-53' have generally persisted in better condition than the other bermudagrass entries. But all entries have shown slow recovery from winter conditions at some point during the 9-year study. 'Hickory Hills', a vegetative selection from Springfield, MO was added in spring, 1988. Buffalograss (Columbia selection) established slowly but has shown excellent spring greenup, summer quality and fall color since 1986." |
