| Abstract/Contents: | "Research at the University of Nebraska, Kansas State University, and Utah State University investigated the fertility and mowing requirements of seeded and vegetative cultivars of buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides). In 1996, the first year of nitrogen treatments after establishment, there were virtually no differences in buffalograss quality, color, or density among the nitrogen rates, especially at the Kansas site. By 1998, the third year of nitrogen treatments, buffalograss was displaying a very favorable response to the nitrogen applications at all locations. Contrary to popular notion, there was no observed increase in weed infestation as nitrogen rate increased. At the one-inch mowing height, the vegetative propagated cultivars 378 and NE 91-118 had good color, quality, and density. The seed-propagated cultivars, Cody and Texoka, performed poorly at the one-inch mowing height, and rarely had acceptable density, even at the four-pound N rate. Cody and Texoka responded well to the two-inch and three-inch mowing heights. In contrast, 378 and NE 91-118, generally had higher quality when mowed at two inches rather than three. At the three-inch mowing height, NE 91-118 often lacked uniformity." |
