A demonstration was conducted to examine the stored forage yield and stored forage quality of two different hay forage management systems. The forage management systems were a hay harvest only system or a complimentary hayround bale silage harvest system. The hay system harvested bermudagrass forage as hay during the summer when weather conditions allowed, the complimentary system harvested ber...

Over the last couple months, we have celebrated the Georgia Cattlemen’s Association’s 50 year by recounting the story of the development of bermudagrass in a three-part series. It is no accident that improved bermudagrasses are the most widely grown warm season perennial forages in the Southeastern US. It is the ultimate story of making lemons into lemonade, and many in the state of Georgia hav...

Third instar growth and survival, and the effect of larval density of the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman and the southern masked chafer, Cyclocephala lurida (Olivier) were evaluated on Tifway bermudagrass, Cynodon dactyl on (L.) and KY-31 tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea Schreb. in a threeyear field study. Winter survival was sometimes enhanced in bermudagrass plots. Larval weight ga...

A second year of a bermudagrass fertility study was conducted at the K-State Research and Experiment Station outside Columbus, KS, in 2021. The purpose to simulate forage producers’ practices managing determine how each practice affected production quality.

an experiment was conducted as a split – split plot in form of a randomized block design with four replications in cilakhor region of iran in 2004. the main factor was the seed planting date with three levels (5, 12 and 25 april), sub factor was the crop density with two levels (160,000 and 250,000 pl/ha) and sub-sub factor was the crop arrangement with two levels (equidistant and non-equidista...

Fraise mowing is a maintenance practice that may serve as non-chemical means of controlling the problematic weed annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) in bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) given reports efficacy on other turfgrass species. However, an understanding practitioner decision-making implementing fraise weed-control measure remains unknown. A field study was conducted Knoxville, TN and repeated sp...

Waterworks sludge has the potential to be used as a soil amendment, but ecotoxicological risk of potentially toxic elements should not underestimated. In this regard, study determined contents nine (Cr, Ni, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Mn, and Al) bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] grown in waterworks amended soils. Treatments involved different loading rates sludge, types, fertilization options...
