USGA Summary Points: | Chemical control of bermudagrass was more successful in year two when glyphosate was applied in split applications. Bermudagrass regrowth during the duration of the trial was minimal. Buffalograss establishment increased when seed was applied at the higher rate (4 lbs/1000 ft2) regardless of seedbed treatment. Verticutting, aeration, and topdressing treatments increased buffalograss cover by 34 to 56% and 57 to 77% when seeded at 3 and 4 lbs/1000 ft2, respectively, 2 MAP (months after planting) compared to no seedbed preparation. Percent buffalograss cover 3 MAP was 71, 81, and 86% for topdressing, aeration plus topdressing, and verticutting plus topdressing treatments seeded at 4 lbs/1000 ft2, respectively. |
