| Abstract/Contents: | "Three dwarf Cynodon dactylon × Cynodon transvaalensis hybrids were assessed in terms of six turf morphological-growth characteristics, plus for wear stress tolerance and direct low temperature hardiness. Compared to Tifgreen and Tifdwarf, the recently released Champion cultivar represents a new generation of what can be described as a vertical dwarf genotype, in that it has a much slower vertical leaf extension rate than the other two cultivars but with the capability of much more intense lateral stem development with an associated higher shoot density even under extraordinarily close mowing heights. A 3.2 mm mowing height results in significant thinning of Tifdwarf and a major reduction in shoot density of Tifgreen. In addition, the vertical dwarf cultivar Champion had a more narrow leaf width than the other two cultivars. the higher shoot density and finer leaf width contribute to excellence in surface quality in terms of ball roll on putting greens. Champion also exhibited better wear stress tolerance, which is most probably associated with the much higher shoot density. In addition, Champion exhibited significantly better direct low temperature stress hardiness than either Tifdwarf or Tifgreen." |
