Cold hardiness studies of bermudagrass and Paspalum vaginatum Sw.
The relative cold hardiness of 8 bermudagrass Cynodon sp. and 2 Paspalum vaginatum Sw. cultivars was evaluated in growth chamber by dry weight of regrowth obtained from these turfgrasses. Samples of the turfgrasses which were cold stressed in the field were taken into the greenhouse at regular …

Management of annual bluegrass and bermudagrass in creeping bentgrass greens
… 2011 and 2012 on ‘Riviera’ and ‘Savannah’ common bermudagrass. Herbicide treatments were applied on December 1, 2011 and February 8, 2012 and consisted of metamifop at 200, 300, 400, and 500 g ai ha-1. A sequential application of each treatment was made on December 22, 2011 and February 29, 2012. …

Serum Cholesterol of Young Cattle Grazing Bermudagrass and Fescue Pastures
… Schreb.) pastures (E+ fescue) with those grazing bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) pers.] pastures (BG). Cattle grazing E+ fescue appear to have a higher prevalence of fat necrosis than do cattle grazing other forages. Thus, we hypothesized that factors in E+ fescue may be associated with …

Biology, Epidemiology, and Management of Spring Dead Spot of Bermudagrass
Spring dead spot (Ophiosphaerella spp.) (SDS) of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x transvaalensis Burtt Davy) is one of the most challenging diseases in the United States transition zone. Six projects were conducted from 2019 to 2022 to better understand the environmental, edaphic, and …

The evaluation of reserve carbohydrates in Midland Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.)
Examination of use of terminology using "carbohydrates" to describe reserve energy to plants.

Impact of Management Practices on Cold Tolerance of Ultradwarf Bermudagrass Putting Greens
… challenges facing golf courses with ultradwarf bermudagrass (UDB) (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) putting greens in Virginia. This research focused on the impact of turf covers, fungicide programming, core aeration, and trinexapac-ethyl (TE) on UDB cold tolerance, …

Using Covers and Wetting Agents to Prevent Winter Injury of Ultradwarf Bermudagrass
<p>As ultradwarf bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) putting green use in the United States moves further north, there is risk of sustaining winter injury from low-temperature exposure and tissue desiccation. Protective covers reduce low-temperature exposure on …

Optimizing Bermudagrass Management Strategies Using Aerial Imagery and Wireless Capacitive Soil Sensors
Hybrid bermudagrass (HBG) (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x transvaalensis Burtt Davy) is one of the most commonly used turfgrasses in the transition zone due to its drought and wear tolerance. Over the years, a combination of history, experience and research has provided best management practices for …

Effects of Reduced Early Post-Sprigging Nitrogen Application on Bermudagrass Sprig Establishment
… source of nitrate contamination exists during bermudagrass sprig establishment. Since most "improved" bermudagrass varieties are established vegetatively, due to lack of viable seed, turf managers apply large quantities of soluble urea weekly to push growth. During this grow-in, turf managers …

The Control of Various Bermudagrass Cultivars in Tall Fescue Utilizing Fenoxaprop & Fluazifop
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L). Pers.) is considered to be one of the most difficult to control grass weeds in turf throughout the U.S. Recent breeding efforts have produced much more desirable bermudagrass cultivars, and therefore its use has increased. Ironically, as bermudagrass use becomes …

Competitive Effects of Perennial Ryegrass and Chewings Fescue on Bermudagrass Seed Establishment
… adapted. The late-spring establishment of seeded bermudagrass could potentially enhance summer quality of a perennial ryegrass fairway during periods of extreme summer stress. Studies were conducted over two years on both perennial ryegrass and Chewings fescue (Festuca rubra L. ssp. commutata …

Spectral analysis of hybrid bermudagrass placed under various combinations of nitrogen and water availability
… correction. Such a test has been made on hybrid bermudagrass 'Tifway' [ Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] through a 2-year field study at the Center for Urban Water Conservation in the city of North Las Vegas. Ten combinations of water and nitrogen treatments including …

Nitrogen Regime Influence on Nutrient and Sediment Surface Runoff During Vegetative Establishment of Bermudagrass
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) is a popular turfgrass used throughout the Southeast. Bermudagrass is established primarily as sprigs on large acreage sites. Currently, the industry standard practice (ISP) of fertilization during bermudagrass sprig establishment is 48.8 kg N ha⁻¹ wk⁻¹. …

Evaluation of novel techniques to establish and transition overseeded grasses on bermudagrass sports turf
… professional turf in Virginia is comprised of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) or (Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis Burtt Davy) as a monoculture in summer and overseeded with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) (PR) in winter, during bermudagrass dormancy. Two transitions are required …

Nutritional and PGR effects on lipid unsaturation, osmoregulant content, and relation to bermudagrass cold hardiness
Winter injury of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) continues to be a problem across the transition zone. In an attempt to delay or induce winter dormancy while maintaining cold hardiness, applications of seaweed extract (SWE) (0.54 kg ha-1), ethephon (16 L ha-1), Fe (1 kg ha-1), and N (49 kg ha-1) took …

Optimizing Topramezone and Other Herbicide Programs for Weed Control in Bermudagrass and Creeping Bentgrass Turf
… Schreb. ex Muhl.] are problematic weeds in bermudagrass and creeping bentgrass turf. Increased incidences of herbicide resistant weed populations and severe use restrictions on formerly available herbicides have increased need for selective, postemergence control options for these weeds in …

Overseeded Bermudagrass Fairway Performance and Post Dormancy Transition as Influenced by Winter Overseeding Practices and Trinexapac-ethyl
Dormant bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) fairways become matted down and thinned out from winter traffic. This appears to be more of a problem on the coarser textured, winter hardy, improved varieties (e.g., 'Midiron' and 'Vamont') typically used in the colder regions of the upper transition zone. …

Characterizing Oxadiazon Resistance and Improving Postemergence Control Programs for Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) in Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.)
… while maintaining commercially-acceptable bermudagrass quality. In field trials, topramezone rate did not significantly affect goosegrass cover at 56 and 70 days after initial treatment (DAIT). All treatments reduced goosegrass cover below 3 and 7% with and without the addition of …
