“…and C. dactylon × C. transvaalensis on three of four dates, indicating that tetraploid C. dactylon bermudagrass generally has faster recovery rates than zoysiagrass, while zoysiagrass and triploid bermudagrass have similar recovery rates. Previous research of establishment and growth rates in bermudgrass and zoyisagrass could give insight into a component of the mechanisms for divot recovery in these species (2,11). The recovery rate differences among species in this experiment were comparable to the establishment rate differences of previous research (2) in which a C. dactylon cultivar was reported as having faster establishment rates than a Z. japonica cultivar due to faster stolon growth rates.…”

“…However, Busey and Myers (2) also reported that C. dactylon × C. transvaalensis established faster than Z. japonica which is different than our divot recovery research. Volteranni et al (11) also reported Cynodon spp. as having superior stolon growth rate than Zoysia spp.…”

Golfers commonly remove turf and soil when swinging a golf club causing a divot in the turf. Divot recovery is an important factor that should be considered when selecting a species or cultivar for use on golf course tees or fairways. There are few reports directly comparing the divot recovery among bermudagrass (Cynodon spp. Rich.) and zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) cultivars. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to quantify divot recovery of several bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars in a combined field experiment. Divot recovery was evaluated on four collection dates for five cultivars of bermudagrass and seven cultivars of zoysiagrass. Cultivars generally with the fastest time to 50% recovery were ‘Princess 77’ and ‘Riviera’ bermudagrass and ‘Palisades’ zoysiagrass. Generally, the cultivars with the slowest time to 50% recovery were ‘Meyer’ and ‘Zenith’ zoysiagrass. Additionally, ‘Tifway’ bermudagrass had similar divot recovery times to ‘El Toro’ and Palisades zoysiagrass. These results demonstrate that differences and similarities exist among bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars for divot recovery, and golf course superintendents can use this information to better select cultivars that could improve surface playing conditions.

“…Patton et al (31) determined that bermudagrass was faster to establish from seed than zoysiagrass. Volterrani et al (41) and Busey and Myers (9) reported a faster vegetative establishment for bermudagrasses than zoysiagrasses. Trappe et al (39) reported both similarities and differences in divot recovery for various bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars.…”

Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp. Rich.) and zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) are two of the most commonly used turfgrass species on golf course fairways and tees in the southern United States. However, there are few reports directly comparing commonly used cultivars of bermudagrass to commonly used cultivars of zoysiagrass. The objectives of this research were to quantify the clipping yield, percent ball exposed (ball lie), and to identify the scalping tendency for five bermudagrass and seven zoysiagrass cultivars grown in Fayetteville, AR. The cultivars generally producing the lowest clipping yields were ‘Patriot’ bermudagrass and ‘Meyer’ zoysiagrass, while ‘Tifway’ bermudagrass and ‘Palisades’ zoysiagrass generally had the highest clipping yields. On most collection dates, Cynodon spp. yielded more clippings than Zoysia spp. Patriot bermudagrass had the highest scalping tendency across the two years of this study. The cultivars Patriot, ‘Riviera,’ ‘Tifsport,’ and Tifway bermudagrass as well as Meyer and Diamond zoysiagrass had the best ball lie in unmown (five days after mowing) conditions, while Palisades zoysiagrass had the poorest ball lie in unmown conditions. Ball lie was similar for all cultivars immediately following mowing. These studies identified cultivars of bermudagrass and zoysiagrass that have improved clipping yields, scalping tendencies, and golf ball lie.

“…We selected Cynodon dactylon × Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt Davy (Cd) and Paspalum vaginatum Swartz (Pv) for their ease of propagation, remediating ability (Duncan 2003), high nutrient uptake (Cole et al 1997;Soldat and Petrovic 2008) and their adaptability to the temperate zones of the Mediterranean region (Lulli et al 2011;Volterrani et al 2007). These two species have similar morphological and ecological characteristics.…”

This study compared dry matter production, nutrient uptake and tissue nutrient concentration of two C4 turfgrass species (Cynodon dactylon × Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt Davy and Paspalum vaginatum Swartz) supplied with three different nutrient solutions in a sand and peat culture. The 8-week experiment was performed in mesocosms and simulated the conditions of an open-field phyto-treatment system located in a Mediterranean drained peatland (Tuscany, Italy). Peat was collected on the site, and one of the solutions mimicked drainage water flowing into it. Three hypotheses were tested: (i) the species chosen efficiently removed nutrients from both the solution and the substrate; (ii) peat contributed to the nutrient load; and (iii) the species chosen were suitable in the open-field system. Both species adapted well to the experimental conditions and demonstrated considerable ability to remove nutrients. P. vaginatum took up nitrogen more efficiently, mainly in conditions of high nutrient availability. We observed supplementary nutrient uptake by plants in the peat treatment. Performances of the two C4 turfgrasses extrapolated to the field scale seemed effective from a phyto-treatment perspective.
