“…This differs from what was observed in other bermudagrass studies. White and Schmidt () found greater fall colour retention in Midiron bermudagrass that received 4.8 g N m −2 month −1 compared to 2.4 g N m −2 month −1 . Similarly, Gibeault, Richard, and Cockerham () documented an increase in fall colour retention of “Princess 77” bermudagrass when fertilized monthly versus every 2 months with 5 g N m −1 .…”

A 3‐year study was conducted at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM, to investigate the effects of different fertilization treatments on turf performance when water conservation strategies are applied. These strategies include the use of non‐potable saline irrigation water and the use of efficient subsurface irrigation systems. Two low water use warm‐season grasses, “Princess 77” bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) and “Sea Spray” seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum O. Swartz), were irrigated with either potable [Electrical Conductivity (EC) = 0.6 dS/m] or saline (EC = 3.1 dS/m) water from either an overhead or a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system. Four different fertilizers, liquid slow release, granular slow release, granular urea and liquid urea, were applied at two rates: 10 and 20 g N m−2 year−1 for “Sea Spray” and 20 and 30 g N m−2 year−1 for “Princess 77.” Spring green‐up, summer quality and fall colour retention were determined using digital image analysis, visual quality ratings and normalized difference vegetation index. Generally, subsurface drip‐irrigated grasses were slower to green‐up than overhead irrigated ones. “Sea Spray” irrigated from the SDI system took 18, 28 and 15 days longer to reach 80% green cover in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, than their sprinkler‐irrigated counterparts. The combination of “Princess 77” and overhead irrigation reached 80% green cover 35 (in 2010), 34 (in 2011) and 12 (in 2012) days faster than SDI‐irrigated “Princess 77.” Fertilization rate and type had no effect on summer turfgrass quality of “Princess 77” irrigated from a sprinkler system throughout the research period reaching ratings of greater than 7 during all 3 years. Similar results were observed for “Princess 77” irrigated from a SDI system during 2010 and 2011. Summer quality of sprinkler‐irrigated “Sea Spray” was negatively affected by liquid fertilization. During two of three summers, visual quality of plots fertilized with either liquid slow release or liquid urea was lower than “Sea Spray” fertilized with granular fertilizer. Further research is needed to investigate the effect of fertilization on bermudagrass and seashore paspalum over a wider nitrogen range including both granular and foliar products.

“…Meanwhile, many physiological changes were associated with the low temperature acclimation. Some studies have stated that the soluble sugar of warm season grasses including zoysiagrass was increased in stolon and rhizomes during fall (Dunn and Nelson 1974;Rogers et al 1975;White and Schmidt 1990;Fry et al 1993;Bush et al 2000;Ball et al 2002;Shahba et al 2003;Cai et al 2004;Lu et al 2005). Patton et al (2007a) found the concentration of soluble sugars in zoysiagrass increased during cold acclimation and the higher concentrations of total reducing sugars was posi-tively associated with zoysiagrass' freeze tolerance.…”

Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is warm season grass used for lawns, golf courses and athletic fields. Although it has better low temperature tolerance compared to other warm season grasses, its longer dormant period than cool season grasses prevents its wide usage in transitional and cooler climate zones. This study analyzed the relationships among low temperature tolerance, green color changes during the fall and spring and the dormant period length among seven Zoysia japonica Steud. cultivars and accessions: two cultivars, four Chinese accessions and one Japanese accession. A relationship between low temperature tolerance and color changes due to dormancy and re‐greening up was examined. Plant samples from the tested Z. japonica were cooled to between −8 and −16°C to measure the lethal temperatures at which 50% of plants died (LT50). These LT50 ranged from −7.3 to −10.1°C, with Lanyin No. 3 having the poorest low temperature tolerance. In the field, the color changes from green to brown for the whole plant in the fall and from brown to green in the spring occurred within 15–20 days as determined by digital analysis from fall 2008 to spring 2010. The fall colors changes (going dormant) on November 8, 2008 and November 7, 2009 were positively correlated with the LT50 (r = 0.824 and 0.823, respectively). The spring colors changes (green‐up) on April 24, 2009 and May 19, 2010 were negatively correlated with the LT50 in both 2009 (r = −0.878) and 2010 (r = −0.869). The dormant period length in 2008–2009 was positively correlated (r = 0.765) with the LT50. This study demonstrated that Z. japonica with poor low temperature tolerance has better green‬‬ retention in the fall but less green color in the spring‬‬. Furthermore, Z. japonica, which became dormant later underwent green up later and had a longer dormant period, mainly due to slower green up in spring.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

“…Applications of N fertilizers to turf is known to lower the total non‐structural carbohydrate concentrations in leaf and crown tissues (Hull, 1992). White and Schmidt (1990) used a narrow range of N rates and found no effect on carbohydrate levels in stolons of ‘Midiron’ bermudagrass. Trenholm et al (1998), however, found that N fertilization in Florida decreased TNC levels in two dwarf varieties.…”

problem with seeded bermudagrass cultivars the first winter after establishment. Researchers in Mississippi Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is an important turf-reported that the potential for winterkill during the first grass across the transition zone. A common concern is survival of winter following establishment is a critical factor in deseeded cultivars the first winter after establishment. The objective of this study was to determine the optimum seeding and N rates to ciding whether to use seeded cultivars (Philley and enhance stolon production. The cultivar Mirage was seeded in June Krans, 1998). Ahring et al. (1975) indicated that new of 1998 and 1999 at 12.2, 24.4, 36.6, and 48.8 kg pure live seed (PLS) plantings of seeded bermudagrass may be very susceptiha Ϫ1 . Urea nitrogen was applied as a split-plot treatment at the rates ble to freeze injury, but older plantings of the same of 48.8, 195.2, 390.4, or 585.6 kg N ha Ϫ1 growing season Ϫ1 . Fresh cultivar may survive because deep rhizomes are proweights of stolons harvested at the end of both growing seasons weretected from cold temperatures, or that they have become greatest at 12.2 kg PLS ha Ϫ1 rate, and decreased significantly as seeding more hardy. Generally, after surviving the first winter, rate increased. The same response to seeding rate was evident when seeded bermudagrasses are able to withstand average measuring stolon diameters in both years of the study. In 1999, 585.6 winter conditions across the transition zone. kg N ha Ϫ1 produced more stolons than 48.8 kg N ha Ϫ1 , indicating a significant positive linear response to N. The opposite was true with
