| Abstract/Contents: | "Research concerning the comparative shoot and root morphology among the newer Agrostis stolonifera L. cultivars under very-close mowing has not been conducted. The botanical shoot and root characteristics of twelve A. stolonifera cultivars were assessed during both favorable May growing conditions and in October following a severe hot-humid stress period when maintained at a 3.2 mm cutting height newr Rolesville, N.C., USA. Differences were observed among cultivars at both assessment times in terms of such botanical parameters as shoot density, shoot/mat/thatch biomass, and root biomass. Under favorable growing conditions the root biomass ranged from a high of 100 g for Penncross to a low of 14 g for Crenshaw. These same favorable conditions produced shoot densities in excess of 3,000 dm-2 for Penn G-2, Penn G-6 and Penn A-1, even when maintained at a cutting height of 3.2 mm. Decreases in most botanical parameters were observed in October following the severe hot-humid stress densities ranged from a high of 3,313 dm-2 for Penn G-2 to 1,533 dm-2 for Penn Links." |
