Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davy is frequently used to cross with C. dactylon Pers. in the creation of F1 hybrid cultivars that are some most widely worldwide turf industry. However, molecular resource development this species limited. Accordingly, objectives study were construct a high-density genetic map, and identify genomic regions associated establishment rate. In study, we constructed fi...

Silicon is the second most abundant element after oxygen in the earth's crust, and most soils contain considerable quantities of the element (Savant et al, 1997). However, some soils contain litde plant-available silicon in their native state, and repeated cropping can reduce the levels of plant-available silicon to the point that supplemental silicon fertilization is required for maximum produ...

Bermudagrass is a warm-season turfgrass species widely used for sports fields, home lawns, and golf courses. Ultradwarf bermudagrass has been course greens, but its quality declines with abiotic stresses. This 2-year study was designed to investigate if foliar applications of seaweed extract-based biostimulant Utilize® could improve ultradwarf photosynthetic function, nitrate reductase activity...

High rates of potassium (K) are often applied in an attempt to increase stress tolerance of hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt Davy] turfs. Two field-grown bermudagrass cultivars, ‘Tifdwarf’ and ‘Tifway’, were used to determine the influence of applied K on plant nutrient content and nutrient retention in two soils. Six rates of K ranging from 0 to 390 kg...
