Assessing glyphosate injury and forage bermudagrass regrowth using Canopeo
(2019-12)Applications of glyphosate for weed control in bermudagrass pastures are permitted; however, product labels are vague regarding use after spring green-up. In-season weed control with glyphosate could be a feasible option ... -
Breeding and genetic characterization of forage bermudagrass for the transition zone of the United States
(2020-05)Bermudagrass is a robust forage option for livestock producers as both a grazed and stockpiled herbage. Breeding efforts focused on improved cold tolerance have expanded the geographic range of bermudagrass into the ... -
Characterizing the cold hardiness and drought response of newly developed bermudagrass genotypes
(2020-07)Bermudagrasses are often subjected to various abiotic stresses affecting their aesthetic quality, and functionality. Abiotic stresses, such as drought, and freezing are some of the common detrimental factors for bermudagrass ... -
Development and Evaluation of Hybrid Bermudagrass Varieties with Cold Hardiness for Golf Course Putting Greens
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)Conversion from creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) to hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] on golf course putting greens in Oklahoma and other transition zone states ... -
Development of Improved Turf-Type Bermudagrasses
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)Study I: Patriot and OKC 70-18 hybrid bermudagrasses (C. dactylon L. Pers. X C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) were evaluated for sod tensile strength (STS) and sod handling quality (SHQ). Tifway (Tifton 419),and Midlawn (A-22) ... -
Development of Simple Sequence Repeat Markers, Fertility Study and Seed Yield Heritability Estimates in Bermudagrass
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)The objectives of this study were to: develop and characterize genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in C. transvaalensis from its four SSR libraries enriched with [CA]n, [GA]n, [AAG]n, and [AAT]n; study selfing and ... -
Evaluation of experimental greens-type hybrid bermudagrass selections by genetic profiling, morphological measurements, and field testing
(2023-05)The lack of genetic diversity among ultradwarf bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] used throughout the southern region and transition zone in the United States is well known. To find ... -
Evaluation of fall traffic tolerance and surface playability of selected bermudagrasses
(2021-05)Bermudagrass [Cynodon spp. (L.) Rich.] is the most preferred turfgrass species for athletic fields and golf courses in the southern and transition zones of the United States. It is also extensively used turfgrass species ... -
Evaluation of turf-type bermudagrass cultivars and experimental genotypes for rooting characteristics and drought performance
(2021-07)Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is one of the most widely used warm-season turfgrasses in the southern and transition zone areas of the United States. Due to the scarcity of water for turfgrass irrigation, it is necessary to ... -
Functional genomics of cold tolerance in bermudagrass Cynodon dactylon L.
(2007-05)Scope and Method of Study: Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L pers.) is one of the most widely adapted warm-season grasses with its usage and geographic distribution limited by cold temperature. The goal of this research was ... -
Genetic and quantitative trait loci mapping in African bermudagrass and characterization of winter survivability and drought response in turf-type bermudagrass
(2020-12)African bermudagrass (Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is frequently used to cross with common bermudagrass (C. dactylon Pers.) in the creation of F1 hybrid cultivars that most widely used in the worldwide turf industry. ... -
Identification of Improved Traffic Tolerance in Experimental and Commercially Available Bermudagrass Varieties
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)Injury from foot traffic is one of the most challenging problems athletic field managers face in regards to the playing surface. The purpose of this research was to identify experimental as well as commercially available ... -
Organic acid changes in bermudagrass root exudates under aluminum stress
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)Root exudates can act as root zone chelators to reduce harmful effects when plants are under heavy metal stress. Aluminum toxicity in acidic soils is a common problem in bermudagrass areas across the United States. Therefore, ... -
Physiological and morphological response of warm-season turfgrasses to shade
(2021-07)Shade affects turfgrass growth and development, lowering the quality and playability of sporting fields and golf courses. The desire for large mature trees in the landscape and modern sports stadiums, are expected to ... -
Testing and Selecting Drought Resistant Common Bermudagrass Genotypes
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) is a perennial warm-season turfgrass that is widely used in the central and southern part of the United States. The drought performance of 67 experimental selections made from the ... -
