). Research is currently underway to determine the efficacy of mesotrione for broadleaf and grassy weed control in managed turfgrass systems. Mesotrione is not currently labeled for use on actively growing bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] turf
evaluate the traffic tolerance of ‘Riviera’ bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon L.) after treatment with various PGRs commercially marketed for use in turfgrass management. Materials and Methods Research site. A 2-year field study was conducted
for weed control efficacy in turfgrass and ornamentals ( Armel et al., 2009 ; Brosnan et al., 2010 ). Mesotrione is currently registered for weed control in turf ( Anonymous, 2009b ) and has been shown to injure common bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon
% Cynodon dactylon , 50% Festuca arundinacea , and 15% Poa pratensis ). The composted olive stone-amended substrate improved turf visual quality, color, shoot density, uniformity, and coverage. Alburquerque et al. (2007) in a controlled pot study
Leachates of living Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. and Amaranthus sp. were applied to Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch. seedlings to compare effects on growth and elemental absorption. Water applied to the weed pot or control pot (no weeds present) leached through the pot and into a funnel with a tube attached, then directly into the corresponding pecan seedling pot. After 4 months of growth, pecan seedlings receiving weed leachates had less leaf area and were shorter than those watered through control pots. These results suggest that leachates from these two weed species inhibit pecan growth, independent of any competition effects.
In recent years, many improved seeded bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] cultivars have become commercially available. As the turfgrass quality of several SB cultivars have reached the level of vegetative industry standards ( Morris, 2002
a quantitative assessment of the magnitude of stress ( Bell et al., 2002a ; Sonmez et al., 2008 ). A strong correlation between NDVI and human evaluation of TQ and LF was reported for both clonal and common bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon ) in
approach to quantifying turfgrass green coverage. The objective of our research was to determine the suitability of the Canopeo application for measuring green coverage of bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon ), with or without colorants, during postdormancy
With qualities including quick growth, a dense root system, a strongly developed stolon, and the capacity to consolidate embankments, bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon ) is one of the most lucrative warm-season turfgrasses in the world ( Shi et al
