. dactylon var. dactylon is widely distributed between north and south latitudes of ≈45° and highly polymorphic ( Harlan and de Wet, 1969 ; Harlan et al., 1970b ). Genetic variation for growth morphology within common bermudagrass is well documented with
The growth characteristics of bermudagrass ( Cynodon spp.) promote its use across a wide range of environments. Its aggressive behavior, resistance to weed encroachment, traffic tolerance, and drought tolerance makes bermudagrass a desired species
Hybrid bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon × C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is widely used in the warm, humid climatic regions for golf course putting greens. Traditional bermudagrass putting green cultivars such as ‘Tifdwarf’ and ‘Tifgreen’ can
Bermudagrass ( Cynodon sp.) and zoysiagrass ( Zoysia sp.) are important warm-season turfgrasses and are widely used for sports fields, golf courses, and lawns in tropical, subtropical and transition zone climates ( Hanna et al., 2013 ). Although
Bermudagrass [ Cynodon spp. (L.) Rich.] is the most popular turfgrass planted in warm-humid regions ( Beard, 1973 ). Improved seeded cultivars of common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] have color, quality, and texture comparable to
associated with nutrient accumulation, the study was designed to compare differential nutrient responses to heat stress in relation to heat tolerance for warm-season (C 4 ) common bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] and cool-season (C 3 ) kentucky
Bermudagrass ( Cynodon spp.) is the predominant turfgrass used in the southern United States and other warm regions in the world. A limitation for the use of bermudagrass in the southeastern United States is the sting nematode ( Belonolaimus
Bermudagrass is the primary warm-season turfgrass species grown in the United States ( Christians, 2011 ). Common to home lawns, athletic fields, and golf courses, bermudagrass is adapted to the southern and central regions of the transition zone
courses throughout the southeastern United States and collected accessions from the best turf-type bermudagrasses to be increased in a greenhouse and planted in field plots. These accessions were then crossed with common bermudagrass [ Cynodon dactylon
Overseeding a permanent grass such as bermudagrass with perennial ryegrass complicates spring transition, because perennial ryegrass is usually growing optimally and its upright growth shades the base grass. Although interstand competition between
