Abstract/Contents: | Dr. Mike Goatley discusses the research he has conducted over the past 20 years, which focused on "extending the growing season of bermudagrass by way of either late-season fertilization or the use of turf blankets." Goatley explains how he became interested in the topic and how he began his research. Details Goatley's trials, designed to "specifically determine how bermudagrass responded to excessively high N rates very late in the growing season." Explains the methods and procedures of the trials. Discusses turf covers, explaining that "another way to extend the bermudagrass growing season is to modify canopy and soil temperatures by applying a turf blanket." Details the research Goatley did on how the growing season of bermudagrass is affected by turf blankets. States that "the extension of the growing season of bermudagrass, whether by way of nutrition or the application of protective covers, has been proven time and again to be a beneficial management practice." |
