| Abstract/Contents: | "Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is the most widely used species for intensively managed turf sites in the southern United States and in the transition zone. However, the lack of cold tolerance in many cultivars can result in significant winter injury. There is a limited body of information in the literature regarding management of nutrition and the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs). As such, a 2-yr field study (1998-1999 and 1999-2000) was conducted to examine the effects of late season N fertilization and trinexapac-ethyl (TE) applications on morphology, quality, and freezing tolerance of 'Tifway' bermudagrass. During both years, monthly N applications were terminated on either 15 July, 15 August, or 15 September, while applications of TE were made on 15 August; 15 August and 15 September; or 15 August, 15 September, and 15 October. Late season applications of N and TE enhanced the fall green color retention of bermudagrass and promoted early spring green-up (SGU). Neither N nor TE had a consistent effect on growth and devolpment of bermudagrass rhizomes or stolons,and neither treatment had a consistent effect on the freeze tolerance of rhizomes. However, a positive attribute of these treatments is a significant increase in the overall green period of bermudagrass (20-25 d), which can prolong the playability of high maintenance sports facilities. From these studies we have concluded that, contrary to what is commonly believed, late season applications of N did not affect the freeze tolerance of bermudagrass rhizomes." |
