In the fall, bermudagrass athletic fields are overseeded with perennial ryegrass [Lolium perenne L.] to provide a uniform playing surface slowed or dormant bermudagrass. Chemical techniques have been utilized for quick and efficient spring transition of ryegrass. Fraise mowing has identified as tool that can aid in spring. These studies were determine effectiveness comparing mechanical removal ...

Shoot apical meristems are self-renewing stem cell populations that generate all of the above-ground organs (i.e. stems, leaves and flowers) of higher plants. Recent studies have identified new molecular components required for proper shoot meristem activity, and they have revealed that complex, intercellular communication pathways play important roles in coordinating meristem function.

Kansas represents the northernmost region in central United States where bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) can be successfully grown as a perennial turfgrass. Historically, few cultivars that have both acceptable quality and adequate cold tolerance been available to local growers. Because new introductions are continually being selected for improved hardiness quality, seeded vegetative types need reg...

abstract in order to evaluate chemical control of bermudagrass (cynodon dactylon (l.) pers.) on mixture turf: (lolium perenne 20%,poa pratensis.20%,festuca arundinacea 20% and festuca rubra commutata 40%), an experiment was conducted during 2006 in tehran, using randomized complete block design with 4 replications and 11 treatments. treatments were diclpfop methyl at 900 and 1080 g a.i. ha-1, f...

Field research was conducted in 2017–2019 on “Princess 77” bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) to determine whether an amino acid based biostimulant program applied the late season (October-November) and early (March-April) could extend fall color retention (FCR) or hasten spring green-up (SGU), respectively. Bermudagrass treated with under five different managements: non-treated; 6 time...

A holistic approach to sustainable coastal zone management assigns the development of nature-based and low-cost strategies for protection during extreme meteorological events. This determines growing interest in plant species with high salt tolerance, study their flood resilience order determine capacity flooding erosion control. Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.), its vast rhizome syst...

Adsorption and desorption of atrazine and its metabolites in vegetated filter strip soil (VFS) has not been evaluated, yet these data are needed to predict the transport of these compounds through the VFS. Adsorption and desorption parameters for atrazine, desethylatrazine (DEA), deisopropylatrazine (DIA), and hydroxyatrazine (HA) were compared between a cultivated Houston Black clay (CS) and a...

At 50 d prior to predicted calving, 37 multiparous Angus cows were grouped by sire of mating, age and weight of cow and placed on either a high energy (HE, n = 19) diet or a moderate energy (ME, n = 18) diet. Objectives were to determine the effect of prepartum nutrition on: prepartum serum concentrations of estrone (E1), estrone sulfate (E1SO4) and progesterone (P4); pre- and postpartum cow bo...

• j ermudagrass is a popular turfgrass used on athletic fields • due to its aggressive summer growth habit, fine leaf texhue, and dark green color. However, if mowed infre• quently, excessive scalping and dipping production combine to decrease its aesthetic quality. Plant growth fl:'gulalors (PGRs) were introduced into the turf industry in the 1950's and since have been used in part to reduce m...
