Methane Prediction By Nutrient Profiles In Ruminal Continuous Cultures Fed An All Forage Diet Of Bermudagrass Or Annual Ryegrass, Kaylin Young
All Theses
Extensive research has been done on the effect of diet on rumen methane (CH4) production, and on developing equations to accurately predict CH4 in cattle. However, the majority of this research has been gathered from feedlot cattle or cattle fed a total mixed ration (TMR). To date, no studies have examined nutrient correlations with CH4 when feeding an all pasture diet of warm season or cool season grasses. This study included two in vitro experiments, one with a warm season forage and one with a cool season forage to see which nutrient characteristics of each forage best correlated with CH4 …
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 …
Response Of Warm Season Turfgrasses To Reduced Light Environments, Jeffrey Atkinson
Response Of Warm Season Turfgrasses To Reduced Light Environments, Jeffrey Atkinson
All Theses
Shade or low light tolerance is an increasingly important issue to turf managers as they are often expected to grow turf in less than ideal agronomic conditions. As permanent structures such as residential buildings add to already problematic shade caused by trees, and other barriers, new solutions are needed to help turf managers provide acceptable turf conditions. The plant growth regulator trinexapac-ethyl (TE) can lessen negative responses of turfgrass to shade.
Two experiments were conducted during the summers of 2008 and 2009 to evaluate various grasses under a reduced light environment (RLE). In the first study, performance of `Diamond' zoysiagrass …
Overseeded Bermudagrass Spring Trasition Response To Mowing Height, Nitrogen Rate, Sulfonylurea Herbicide, And Allelopathy, Raymond Mccauley
Overseeded Bermudagrass Spring Trasition Response To Mowing Height, Nitrogen Rate, Sulfonylurea Herbicide, And Allelopathy, Raymond Mccauley
All Theses
Hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davey x C. dactylon (L.)
Pers.] is the preferred turf for golf courses and athletic fields across the southern United
States because of its dark green color, fine texture, good wear and drought tolerance, and
excellent recuperative rate. Despite its many attributes, bermudagrass goes dormant and
turns an unsightly brown color when soil temperatures fall below 10-13oC (50-55super>oF).
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is often overseeded into bermudagrass in the fall
to sustain acceptable turf quality through the spring months. However, perennial ryegrass
aggressively competes with the bermudagrass for resources in the spring and potentially …
