Evaluating The Effects Of Simulated Golf Cart Traffic On Dormant Buffalograss And Turfgrass Colorants, E. Alderman, J. Hoyle, J. Fry, S. Keeley Jan 2016

Percent green cover will ultimately decrease over time when traffic is applied to dormant buffalograss with turfgrass colorants. Data suggests that an additional five weeks of acceptable green cover can be achieved under high traffic situations when Endurant Premium is applied to dormant turf.


Influence Of Glyphosate Timings On Conversion Of Golf Course Rough From Tall Fescue To ‘Sharps Improved Ii’ Buffalograss, J. Reeves, J. Hoyle, D. Bremer, S. Keeley Jan 2016

All treatments, except the control that received no glyphosate application, resulted in acceptable buffalograss establishment (>90% buffalograss green cover) by 70 days after seeding (DAS). However, any treatment not sprayed prior to seeding date or that received a 7 DAS application lagged behind in establishment for 6 weeks after seeding.


Evaluation Of Colorants On ‘Sharpshooter’ And ‘Cody’ Buffalograss, R. Braun, J. Fry, M. Kennelly, D. Bremer, J. Griffin Jan 2015

Turf colorants effectively enhanced green color of dormant buffalograss. Using a higher application rate or adding a midwinter application helped longevity of color. Colorants increased canopy temperatures more consistently than soil temperatures, which may encourage earlier spring greenup.


Influence Of Fertilizer Source And Rate On Buffalograss Divot Recovery, E. Alderman, J. Hoyle, J. Fry, S. Keeley Jan 2015

Influence Of Fertilizer Source And Rate On Buffalograss Divot Recovery, E. Alderman, J. Hoyle, J. Fry, S. Keeley

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Application of quick-release nitrogen fertilizer increased buffalograss divot recovery. A quick-release fertilizer at 1 lb N/1,000 ft2resulted in 50% divot recovery 6.3 days quicker compared to the untreated control.


Influence Of Simulated Golf Cart Traffic And Nitrogen Rate On Buffalograss Quality, E. Alderman, J. Hoyle, J. Fry, S. Keeley Jan 2015

Influence Of Simulated Golf Cart Traffic And Nitrogen Rate On Buffalograss Quality, E. Alderman, J. Hoyle, J. Fry, S. Keeley

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Application of 2 and 3 lb N/1,000 ft2resulted in acceptable buffalograss quality when subjected to simulated golf cart traffic. Across all fertilizer treatments, traffic rates of 8 and 16 passes per week resulted in unacceptable quality ratings for the study duration.
