Abstract/Contents:Presents the 1997 NTEP bermudagrass cultivar evaluation study to "determine the survivability and performance of seeded and vegetatively established bermudagrass in Evansville, IN." Results to date indicate that "the vegetative cultivars green-up more quickly in the spring, have provided better cover, and are finer-textured than the seeded cultivars. OKC 18-4, OKC 19-9, Tift94, CN2-9, Tifway, Tifgreen, and Midlawn were the top performers in 1999. Mini-Verde is performing poorly in this test because it has a better fit for greens. It is a very dense growing cultivar and does not grow taller than about 0.25-0.5 inch. The poor ratings of Meyer zoysia are due to its slow cover, averaging only 73% cover by Aug. 1999." Among the seeded cultivars, "OKS-95-1 and Princess were the top two performers in 1999 for the second consecutive year. OKS-95-1 is a fine bladed grass that creates a dense turf resulting in high quality ratings. Princess, on the other hand, is somewhat coarser textured and greens up slightly slower than OKS-95-1. Significant genetic improvement has occurred with the seeded bermudagrasses. Most of the newer cultivars consistently outperform Arizona Common, which was the initial seeded bermudagrass."
