| Abstract/Contents: | "In southern Europe countries, warm-season turfgrass use is still limited mainly because of their chlorophyll loss during the coldest months of the year. Winter overseeding with cool-season turfgrasses could be a solution to both aesthetic and functional problems. In this four-year study (1996-2000) seven cool-season turfgrasses were winter overseeded onto Paspalum vaginatum Swartz. and Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis Burtt. Davy cv. Santa Ana. During the first winter, cool-season turfgrass ground cover percentages were determined monthly and in the following spring weed cover, warm-season turfgrass green-up, and transition were evaluated. Starting in 1997, thru 2000, the cool-season grass ground cover percentages were assessed annually in February. Lolium perenne L. was the fastest in emergence and establishment, while Poa trivialis L. showed the highest growth rate during the winter. Consequently their polystand gave a good overall performance. Festuca arundinacea Schreb. cv. Barfelix was very persistent, showing 90% ground cover three years after winter overseeding, while Festuca rubra L. virtually disappeared during the same period. The persistence of cool-season grasses was higher in Paspalum vaginatum than in Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis. Every summer warm-season turfgrasses dominated the polystand, leaving little or no cool-season grasses visible in the turf. In the Paspalum vaginatum monostand, weed cover reached 77% in the spring of 1997, while overseeding resulted in good weed control." |
