Information @ a Glance
- 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.
