Abstract/Contents:Presents a study initiated in 2009 to analyze fertility and traffic on eight bermudagrasses. Notes that primary objectives of the study were to "(1) characterize a general response of these bermudagrass genotypes (both seeded and vegetative) to varying combinations of N [nitrogen] fertility and traffic," "(2) establish appropriate fertility recommendations for each of the genotypes studied under high- and low-traffic conditions," and "(3) identify those cultivars that are best able to maintain quality under conditions of abiotic stress (nutrients and traffic)." Details methods and materials used during the experiment, stating that "main plots were laid out in a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications with each main plot being approximately 14 ft [feet] x 14 ft in size." Reports that "changes...caused by traffic were evaluated by calculating delta values between traffic treatments and comparing cultivar and fertility effects." Describes the recovery rates of several of the cultivars studied and provides a photograph illustrating the abilities of four of the cultivars to recover from divot damage. Concludes that "nitrogen rates of 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 are too narrow in range to result in N-rate treatment differences."

USGA Summary Points:Nitrogen rates of 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 are too narrow in range to result in N-rate treatment differences 'Celebration' has the darkest genetic color as supported by visual ratings. 'Celebration', 'ST5', 'Hybrid 1', and 'T11' maintained the highest plant density of the eight cultivars after two seasons of weekly traffic treatments. 'Celebration', 'Floratex', and 'T11' consistently recovered from divot injury 3 to 4 days faster than 'Hybrid 1', 'Riviera', 'Tifgrand', 'Tifway', or 'Tifsport'.
