| Abstract/Contents: | Evaluated effect of mowing height and amount of nitrogen fertilizer on two varieties of the warm season turf Paspalum vaginatum : Futurf and Adalayd. [#1] [#2]. A table gives [#3]. Measurements included regular monthly turf quality evaluations beginning in August 1977, seed head production during April, May, Jume and August, scalping injury in July, August and September 1978 (measured because scalping had developed in previous years), thatch production 22 months after establishment and root density at various soil depths when plots were 26 months old. Results are provided in tables with significant differences at p<0.05 indicated. All 3 grasses produced acceptable turf quality. Mowing height did not affect turf quality during the first 15 months of study. Suitable nitrogen fertilizer rate appeared to be 4 to 6 pounds per 11,000 sq. ft./year. At higher rates (6 and 8 pounds) summer application resulted in late summer scalping injury especially in Futurf and Adalayd. While the 2 pound rate significantly decreaed turf quality. Nitrogen at higher rates significantly reduced seed head production in all grasses. The P. vaginatum varieties had less seed head production than the "Santa Ana" hybrid bermudagrass and are less prone to this condition when mowed regularly. P. vaginatum varieties produced about 30% less thatch than the bermudagrass. Mowing height and nitrogen rate did not affect thatch accumulation. All grasses produced roots beyond a 5 foot depth but P. vaginatum varieties were dormant while the bermudagrass roots were vigorous. Also noted was salinity tolerance, dormancy at subfreezing temperatures and ability to compete well with weed invasion in the P. vaginatum varieties had some disadvantages, their advantages make them well suited to Southern California warm season turf maintenance practices. show good potential for use in southern California's landscape. Both have been evaluated recently in observation plots at the University of California South Coast Field Station near Santa Ana. Although neither variety is likely to replace currently popular ones, both possess characteristics that warrant their inclusion in listings of warm-season turfgrasses suitable for southern California conditions and turf management practices. |
