Registration of ‘Mislevy’ bermudagrass

Selecting a Forage Bermudagrass Variety

Unlike most other agronomic crops, the selection of a bermudagrass cultivar is a long-term commitment. Bermudagrass is a warm-season perennial grass that can persist and withstand the rigors of grazing and hay production for decades. Establishing it, however, is a significant investment that pays off over the long-term. It is important to understand the characteristics of the different cultivar...

Sensitivity of Triploid Hybrid Bermudagrass Cultivars and Common Bermudagrass to Postemergence Herbicides

The potential weediness of hybrid bermudagrass cultivars in nontarget areas is an important factor when considering the development of herbicide-resistant cultivars. Field studies evaluated the response of common bermudagrass, hexaploid hybrid ‘Tifton-10’, and two triploid hybrid bermudagrass cultivars (‘TifEagle’ and ‘TifSport’) to clethodim, fluazifop-p, glufosinate, glyphosate, and quizalofo...

Establishment of Cowpeas in a Bermudagrass Sod

Sod Production Using Seeded Bermudagrass

The development of improved seeded bermudagrass cultivars has led to an increased interest in these grasses for numerous areas of turfgrass use. One area that has yet to be investigated is the potential to produce sod using a seed-propagated bermudagrass, rather than the standard practice of vegetative propagation, which is currently used. To this end, a series of studies are underway to invest...
