| Abstract/Contents: | "Greenhouse studies were conducted on three warm-season turfgrasses, 'Midlawn' bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy], 'Prairie' buffalograss [Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.], and 'Meyer' zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.), and a cool-season turfgrass, 'Mustang' tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) to determine 1) water relations and drought tolerance characteristics by subjecting container-grown grasses to drought and 2) potential relationships between osmotic adjustment (OA) and turf recovery after severe drought. Tall fescue was clipped at 6.3 cm once weekly, whereas warm-season grasses were clipped at 4.5 cm twice weekly. The threshold volumetric soil water content (SWC) at which a sharp decline in leaf water potential (Ψ^D[l) occurred was higher for tall fescue than for warm-season grasses. Buffalograss exhibited the lowest and tall fescue exhibited the highest reduction in leaf pressure potential (Ψ^D[p) per unit decline in Ψ^D[L during dry down. Ranking of grasses for magnitude of OA was buffalograss (0.84 MPa) = zoysiagrass (0.77 MPa) > bermudagrass (0.60 MPa) > tall fescue (0.34 MPa). Grass coverage 2 weeks after irrigation was resumed was correlated positively with magnitude of OA (r= 0.66, P < 0.05)." |
