| Abstract/Contents: | "This study evaluated the influence of companion grasses and mulch on warm-season turfgrass establishment. Vegetative plantings of centipedegrass [Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack.] and St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatun(Walt.) Kuntze] and seeded planting of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum var. saurae Parodi) and centipedegrass were seeded with nine companion grasses, and they were either mulched or not mulched with grass hay. Data were gathered on seedling stand, rate of ground cover development, and ground cover composition at various intervals after planting. Browntop millet (Panicum ramosum L.) was the most rapid companion grass to establish in all plantings, but it was also most competitive to warm-season turfgrasses. Although 'FL-501' oats (Avena sativa L.) had a slower establishment rate than Browntop millet, it was less competitive than the latter as warm-season turfgrass cover 63 days after planting was equal to control plots planted without a companion grass. Mulch had a beneficial effect on establishment rate of seeded bahiagrass that negated the need for a companion grass when establishing bahiagrass from seed. Mulch had no detrimental effect on the slow establishment of vegetatively propagated St. Augustinegrass and centipedegrass or on seeded centipedegrass." |
