| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study "to identify optimum and acceptable seeding dates for seeded bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica). Determining optimum and acceptable seeding dates, in this case, is based on rate of establishment, amount of weed pressure, and winter survival." Preliminary results include "as expected, bermudagrass germinated and established much faster than zoysiagrass. By the final data recording in Oct, bermudagrass seeded between 1 June and 1 Aug provided greater than 90% cover by 2 Oct. Only zoysiagrass seeded on 1 and 15 June produced greater than 90% cover by 2 Oct. Bermudagrass consistently required only 4 weeks to reach 90% cover, whereas zoysiagrass took 10 weeks or more to reach 90% cover. Slow germination of zoysiagrass may enhance weed populations compared to the faster-germinating bermudagrass, but fumigation virtually eliminated weed pressure on our site. Results of adjacent studies at Purdue are evaluating the safety of various herbicides on these grasses shortly after emergence can be found in the following report. Though it appears that bermudagrass has a tremendous advantage in speed of establishment over zoysiagrass, zoysia is more winter tolerant and we expect significant winter damage to occur on the later-seeded bermudagrass. Winter survival data will be recorded June 2001 and the entire study will be repeated next year in 2001." |
