| Abstract/Contents: | "Cynodon dactylon L. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy cultivars have been shown to differ in their responses to nitrogen (N) and potassium (K). This 1995 research was conducted to compare responses of two Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis cultivars to N and K during establishment under long day (>13 h.) and short day (<13 h.) conditions. Evaluations were made concerning stolon number and length, rate of grass cover, and colour of cultivars FloraDwarf™ and Tifdwarf during establishment in a glasshouse. Experimental design under each day length period was a randomised complete block consisting of two cultivars, four rates of N, four rates of K, and four replications. Data were analysed by fitting multiple regression equations starting with a second order polynomial. Growth of FloraDwarf was highly responsive to photoperiod, with reduced growth during shortened day-lengths. Tidwarf had no difference in growth in response to photoperiod. FloraDwarf produced more and longer stolon than did Tifdwarf, which provided FloraDwarf with more nodes for vegetative reproduction. Tidwarf, however, had greater rate of grass cover under both photoperiod regimes than did FloraDwarf. Results of these studies indicated that rate of establishment, morphological characteristics, and colour ratings differed due to cultivar, photoperiod, and rates of N and K." |
