The Response Of Bermudagrasses [Cynodon Dactylon (L.) Pers. X C. Transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] And Creeping Bentgrass [Agrostis Stoloniferi (L.)] To A Commercial Humectant And Wetting Agents During Summer, Robin Landry Aug 2012

The Response Of Bermudagrasses [Cynodon Dactylon (L.) Pers. X C. Transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] And Creeping Bentgrass [Agrostis Stoloniferi (L.)] To A Commercial Humectant And Wetting Agents During Summer, Robin Landry

All Theses

Four field studies, one laboratory and one greenhouse study were conducted from April 2011 through August 2011 at Clemson University in Clemson, SC on `L-93'creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), `Tifeagle' bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. X C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy), and a combination of `Tifway' (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. X C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) and common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.)
The objectives of this research were: (i) evaluate bentgrass response to two irrigation regimes, light and frequent irrigation (replacing daily ET), verses deep and infrequent irrigation (watering at the sign of wilt); (ii) evaluate the combination of a humectant and a soil …

Cotton (Gossipium Hirsutum L.) Response To Irrigation And Environment In A Short Season Climate, Matthew Scott Wiggins

Masters Theses

Research was conducted in 2010 and 2011 at the West Tennessee Research and Education Center in Jackson, TN to investigate water deficit and irrigation response in cotton to provide a better understanding of physiological growth changes and yield impact on the crop grown in soils of varying depth to a sandy layer. The deep soil yielded more vegetative mass when compared with the shallower soil. This is also true when applying higher rates of irrigation where plants grew two more nodes of growth and 15.2 centimeters of plant height. Time to cotton maturity was delayed seven days in the deep …
