| Abstract/Contents: | "Improved seeded bermudagrass cultivars have been developed and released in recent years and there is much interest in the turfgrass industry in applying these cultivars to high-maintenance turf situations. One of the major questions that has been raised concerning seeded cultivars is the cold tolerance of these cultivars, especially during the establishment period. The objective of this project was to determine the effects of seeding date and cultivar on the establishment and cold tolerance of seeded bermudagrass in a trasition-zone environment. The major conclusions from this work included: Early planting dates (April and May) yielded greater winter recovery than late planting dates (June and July). For this Arkansas location, a May planting date would provide approximately 120 days of optimum growing conditions for bermudagrass. Plots from early seeding dates had more developed stolons than the later seeding dates. First-year bermudagrass seedlings do not produce true rhizomes, so all winter recovery occurs from stolon and crown tissue. The cultivar `Yukon' exhibited excellent recovery from winter injury at all seeding dates and had earlier spring green-up than other cultivars. The cultivar `Princess' had the slowest spring green-up and also was damaged most extensively by a cold winter after establishment. When selecting a seeded bermudagrass cultivar for a transition-zone location, data on winter survival should be a key factor in decision-making." |
