| Abstract/Contents: | "Vegetative propagation of Buchloë dactyloides results in a very uniform and dense turf. Because Buchloë dactyloides is dioecious, the different genders in a seeded population can cause undesired variation. Establishment has sometimes been difficult because of weed competition and resulting slow spread. However, there is relatively little information on best vegetative establishment procedures for Buchloë dactyloides. Using field and greenhouse experiments, a number of factors of establishment including methods of vegetative planting, pre-rooting of plugs, types and rates of nitrogen fertilizer, and planting time were investigated. Measurements included percent plot coverage and turfgrass quality. Establishment was measured by stolon number, stolon length, percent cover, and overall quality. Pre-rooted plugs showed superior performance and plug spacing of 30-45 cm gave the most economical and rapid cover of the plot. In greenhouse experiments, nitrogen rates greater than 4.9 g N m⁻² and synthetic organic/inorganic nitrogen sources yielded greater vegetative production. Relatively little effect of nitrogen was observed during establishment in the field. The recommended time window for planting Buchloë dactyloides plugs is between 1 May and 15 Sept in Nebraska. These experimental findings have improved plot establishment at the research site, as well as numerous field sites around the USA." |
