- Bermuda grass is the most important
lawn grass of the Sun Belt. It has all the essential characteristics a
lawn needs for those regions—heat and drought tolerance primarily. The
very aggressiveness of Bermuda is also it's key disadvantage. When
creeping Bermuda invades flower beds and ground cover, it's called
"devil grass" by frustrated gardeners. Bermuda grass is tough and fast
growing enough to be one of the most popular grasses for sports
fields.
- Bermudagrass (Cynodon
spp.) was introduced to the United States from Africa by 1751 . The high
growth rate of this genus provides it with rapid colonization in
disturbed areas and quick recovery from traffic damage caused in sports
activities. It was shown that if logarithmic growth rates could be
sustained for 1 year , then it would be possible for 1 m2 of grass to
cover an area equal to 50% of the land area of the world.
- Bermudagrass is a heavy
user of nitrogen, and a good turf requires regular applications.
Phosphates and potash in most Arizona soils are seldom limiting to
bermudagrass growth, and applications of them seldom give a response.
Unless initial seeding is in a very sterile, sandy, gravelly soil, it is
best to wait until seedlings are 1 to 2 inches high before fertilizing a
new stand since nitrogen may encourage rapidly germinating and growing
weeds while the bermudagrass seedlings are not yet ready to
compete.
- Tifton 85’ bermudagrass
is a relatively new hybrid with improved nutritive value and yield
potential compared to established hybrids such as Coastal bermudagrass.
Many studies have been conducted to determine the K requirements of
Coastal bermudagrass. Adams and Twersky showed that high levels of
available soil K reduced Coastal bermudagrass winter injury and
indicated that winter survival of this grass was favored by a high ratio
of applied K to N.
- Establishment of
bermudagrass is a major expense. Care should be taken to do everything
possible to ensure success. When planting an improved variety, any
common bermudagrass present should be sprayed with Roundup before
planting. There are many named varieties available, all of which can be
established with sprigs or fresh hay clippings.
- Bermudagrass grows
vigorously during the hot summer months when the field is being prepared
or renovated for the football season. It has excellent drought and heat
tolerance. Bermudagrass requires about 50 percent less water than
cool-season grasses during the hot summer months. It has excellent wear
tolerance and recovery when actively growing.
- Spring dead spot is a
destructive disease of common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and
bermudagrass hybrids (C. dactylon X C. transvaalensis) throughout the
northern range of its adaptation in the United States. It may occur on
bermudagrass fairways and putting surfaces of all ages, although it
typically appears 3-4 years after the turf has been established. The
disease results in the formation of circular or arc-shaped patches of
dead turf in early spring as bermudagrass breaks winter dormancy.
- The whole plant of
Bermudagrass is used for medicinal purpose, externally as well as
internally. Bermudagrass being haemostatic, refrigerant, healer and
beneficial for skin complexion, it is extremely beneficial, externally
in wounds, haemorrhages, burning sensation and dispigmentations of the
skin. The paste of leaves or their medicated oil is applied in traumatic
wounds and piles, with great benefit. In catarrhal conditions of the
eyes, the fresh fuice of the plants is instilled into eyes.
- World Feeder Bermuda
Grass is now a proven leader in forage solutions in the U.S.
agricultural industry. It provides superior quality hay and grazing,
with additional attributes of high yield, extreme cold tolerance and
winter hardiness, high protein, extreme salt tolerance, deep root
system, and, most importantly, high digestibility and palatability to
livestock under conditions that turn other grasses coarse and
stemmy.
- Potassium fertilization
increases Bermudagrass production per inch of rainfall received.It also
increases N use efficiency. This enables producers to get more benefit
from each dollar spent on N fertilizer, while minimizing the potential
for N loss to the environment. With optimum soil K levels, forage can
better withstand stresses from diseases, heat, and drought than where K
needs have been neglected.
