Abstract
Field and laboratory tests of cold hardiness were conducted on 8 cultivars of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) and 2 cultivars of Paspalum vaginatum. The cultivars of bermudagrass were more cold hardy than those of Paspalum. ‘Brookings’ bermudagrass was the hardiest turfgrass.
Paspalum vaginatum is a warm-season perennial grass of the Gramineae family that is distributed in the coastal areas of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world ( Chen et al., 2005 ). It mainly grows in coastal areas, mudflats, and other
