(CYNODON DACTYLON) Jodie S. Holt* Bermudagrass
PHENOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND COMPETITION OF BERMUDAGRASS (CYNODON DACTYLON) Jodie S. Holt* Introduction Bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon, is one of the most serious weeds of the Poaceae, or grass family ( 4) . Among the many species of Cynodon that are called bermudagrass, ~ dactylon is recognized as the most ubiquitous, cosmopolitan, and weedy (3). Although the earliest introduction of bermudagrass into the United States was for pasture and forage use in the southeast, since that time farmers have also considered it a troublesome and invasive weed. The dual nature of bermudagrass as a weed and a crop is well recognized in California, where it is planted in lawns, pastures, and playing fields yet is also widely found as a weed in agrono~ic and vegetable crops, orchards, vineyards, roadsides, and landscapes (2). Around the world, bermudagrass is recognized as a weed in at least 80 countries in 40 different crops ( 4) . Interestingly, research and breeding programs to improve bermudagrass as a pasture and turfgrass may have also contributed to the weediness of this species where it escapes cultivation (4). Bermudagrass Growth, Development, and Reproduction The invasive and weedy nature of bermudagrass may be attributed largely to its perennial life cycle with prolific vegetative reproduction, the primary means of spread (13). Seed production also occurs in some varieties and cultivars and is an additional means of spread (3, 4). As a seedling, bermudagrass and other perennial weeds are functionally annuals in that no underground perennating or storage structures are initially present (13). Thus, the seedling stage of perennial weeds is the easiest to control. As the bermudagrass plant matures, however, production of stolons, or creeping horizontal surface stems, and rhizomes, or underground stems, becomes prolific (6, 7, 13). -

Cynodon Dactylon (L.) Pers
A WEED REPORT from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States This WEED REPORT does not constitute a formal recommendation. When using herbicides always read the label, and when in doubt consult your farm advisor or county agent. This WEED REPORT is an excerpt from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States and is available wholesale through the UC Weed Research & Information Center (wric.ucdavis.edu) or retail through the Western Society of Weed Science (wsweedscience.org) or the California Invasive Species Council (cal-ipc.org). Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. Bermudagrass Family: Poaceae Range: Most western states, except Wyoming, North and South Dakota. Habitat: Disturbed sites, gardens, agronomic crops, orchards, turf, landscaped and forestry areas, on most soil types. Typically in areas that are irrigated or receive some warm-season moisture. Tolerates acidic, alkaline, or saline conditions or limited flooding. Aboveground growth does not tolerate freezing temperatures (below -1°C). Optimum growth occurs when daytime temperatures are 35 to 38°C. Grows poorly in shaded conditions. Origin: Native to Africa. Impact: Because of its vigorous creeping habit bermudagrass is a noxious weed in many areas where some moisture is available in the warm season. In wildland areas, it is particularly a problem in riparian sites. Western states listed as Noxious Weed: California, Utah California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) Inventory: Moderate Invasiveness Bermudagrass is a warm-climate perennial with an extensive system of creeping rhizomes and stolons. Although it typically grows prostrate to the soil, it can grow to 1.5 ft tall, particularly under somewhat shady conditions. -
Figure 3. Vegetation Complexes Mapped As Occurring Within the Project Area
Figure 3. Vegetation complexes mapped as occurring within the Project Area. 16 | Page 1.6 Threatened and Priority Ecological Communities Ecological communities are defined by Western Australia’s Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW, previously the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC)) as “...naturally occurring biological assemblages that occur in a particular type of habitat. They are the sum of species within an ecosystem and, as a whole, they provide many of the processes which support specific ecosystems and provide ecological services.” (DEC, 2010). A threatened ecological community (TEC) is one which is found to fit into one of the following categories; ‘presumed totally destroyed’, Critically Endangered (CE), Endangered (E) or Vulnerable (Vu) (DEC, 2010). Possible threatened ecological communities that do not meet survey criteria are added to DPaW’s Priority Ecological Community (PEC) Lists under Priorities 1, 2 and 3 (referred to as P1, P2, P3). Ecological Communities that are adequately known, are rare but not threatened, or meet criteria for Near Threatened, or that have been recently removed from the threatened list, are placed in Priority 4 (P4). These ecological communities require regular monitoring. Conservation Dependent ecological communities are placed in Priority 5 (P5) (DEC, 2010). The current listing of Threatened and Priority Ecological Communities is specified in DPaW, 2015a and 2015b. Threatened Ecological Communities can also be listed under the EPBC Act (Department of the Environment (DotE), 2015a; Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA, 1999)). Threatened Ecological Communities can also be listed under the Commonwealth EPBC Act (Department of the Environment (DotE), 2015a; Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA), 1999). -
Evaluating Herbicidal Injury to St. Augustine Grass in Sod Production
The Texas Journal of Agriculture and Natural Resource 22:61-68 (2009) 61 © Agriculture Consortium of Texas Evaluating Herbicidal Injury to St. Augustine Grass in Sod Production W. James Grichar1 Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 3507 Hwy 59E, Beeville, TX 78102 Roger D. Havlak Formerly Texas Cooperative Extension, San Antonio, TX, 78230 Currently City of San Angelo Parks Dept., P. O. Box 1751, San Angelo, TX 76902 ABSTRACT Studies were conducted at three locations (Burleson, Matagorda, and Wharton Counties) in south and central Texas to evaluate 25 commonly used herbicides for their effect on regrowth or re-establishment of St. Augustine grass [Stenotaphrum secundatum S. (Walt.) Kuntz] after sod had been harvested. Fenoxaprop-ethyl, metsulfuron-methyl, MSMA, and quinclorac caused significant injury (yellowing) at all three locations when rated 10 days after herbicide application. Benefin, imazapic, metolcachlor, triclopyr plus clopyralid, and 2,4-D plus MCPP plus dicamba caused injury to St. Augustinegrass at two of three locations while atrazine, bensulide, bentazon, bromoxynil, imazaquin, halosulfuron, oxadiazon, prodiamine, and simizine caused injury at one location. For St. Augustine grass regrowth, imazapic and metsulfuron-methyl resulted in reduced growth at all three locations while bensulide, fenoxaprop-ethyl, imazaquin, halosulfuron, and oryzalin caused considerable reduction in regrowth at two locations. Bromoxynil, dithiopyr, prodiamine, and quinclorac reduced St. Augustine regrowth at only one location. KEY WORDS: turf injury, regrowth INTRODUCTION St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) is a warm-season turfgrass commonly used in home lawns, athletic fields, and some golf courses throughout the southern United States (Carroll et al., 1996; Fagerness et al., 2002; Fry et al., 1986; Johnson, 1995). -
Nutrient Uptake Responses of Tropical Turfgrass Species to Salinity Stress
AJCS 5(6):620-629 (2011) ISSN:1835-2707 Effect of salinity stress on nutrient uptake and chlorophyll content of tropical turfgrass species Md. Kamal Uddin1*, Abdul Shukor Juraimi1, Mohd. Razi Ismail1, Md. Alamgir Hossain1, Radziah Othman2 and Anuar Abdul Rahim2 1Department of Crop Science, Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia 2Department of Land Management, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Seawater of different salinity levels (0, 24, 48, and 72 dSm-1) were applied to 16 turfgrass species that grown in plastic pots filled with a mixture of sand and peat (9:1v/v). Chlorophyll concentration decreased significantly with increasing salinity. P. vaginatum and Z. japonica maintained greater amount of total chlorophyll than the others turfgrass species under salt stress. Increasing salinity also decreased K, Ca, Mg content and K/Na ratio but increased Na content in the shoot tissue. The K, Ca, Mg content reduction was the lowest in the species of Paspalum vaginatum, Zoysia japonica and Zoysia matrella while the highest K reduction was in the species of Digitaria didactyla at all salinity levels followed by Axonopus affinis, Cynodon dactylon ‘tifdwarf’, Cynodon dactylon ‘greenlesspark’ and Axonopus compressus (pearl blue). Other species were the intermediate. The overall, shoot K/Na ratio was the highest in Paspalum vaginatum followed by Zoysia japonica, whilst the lowest K/Na ratio was in Axonopus compressus (pearl blue) followed by C. dactylon ‘greenless park’. The results revealed that K, Ca and Mg ions uptake and their distribution to shoot tissues under salinity stress may be relevant issues for salt (Na+) exclusion studies and for plant nutrition as well. -
