... Bigflower vetch, Vicia grandiflora var. kitaibeliana W. Koch, is a self-regenerating winter-annual legume which has several excellent agronomic characteristics. It has never been used extensively in pasture programs, however, and little information on it is available in the literature. Two field experiments were conducted on a Typic Paleudults, clayey, mixed, mesic soil (Maury silt loam) to study ...

Abstract:
... Common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] when established with commercial seed in the northern part of the bermudagrass belt, has a high percentage of winter-kill. The feasibility of developing seeded bermudagrass cultivars with greater cold tolerance is currently being investigated in Oklahoma. The objective of this research was to compare the winterhardiness of seeded common bermudagras ...

Abstract:
... Early spring burning of ‘Coastal’ bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) sod is a recommended practice for control of the 2-lined spittlebug (Prosapia bicincta (Say) plant diseases, and winter weeds. This study was designed to determine effects of time of burning on dry matter yield, soil temperature, and forage quality. Coastal bermudagrass sod was burned at 2-week intervals between mid-Febru ...

Abstract:
... This research was undertaken to assess the influence of harvest schedules and fertilization on the persistence and productivity of four warm- and six cool-season grass species under minimal temperature and moisture stresses. The grasses were clipped three, five, or eight times during each of 2 years. The first clipping each year was taken on April 26, May 7, or June 10 and aftermath clippings were ...

Abstract:
... Reports of increased protein levels in several plant species with simazine treatments prompted this study of the response of coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers.) to simazine. Simazine was applied at rates ranging from 0 to 4.5 kg/ha on an old sod of coastal bermudagrass. Additional variables were N fertilization (56 to 672 kg/ha) and cutting frequency (3 and 6 weeks). Nitrogen fertiliz ...

Abstract:
... ‘Midland’ bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (E.) Pers.] was grown at three locations without and with N fertilizer applied at several rates; four replications of a randomized complete block (RCB) design were used at each location. Dry-matter yields of about 4 t/ha were produced by the no-N treatment. This was doubled by adding 133 kg/ha of N and doubled again when 400 kg/ha of N were added. The 800 k ...

Water content of grass after a day of curing was significantly influenced by initial water content, vapor pressure deficit of the air, solar radiation, and yield; there was a significant interaction of initial water content with the other three factors. Water content of the grass mig ...

A study was conducted in 1960, 1961, and 1962 to compare orchardgrass grown under three rates of nitrogen, 100, 200, and 300 pounds per acre; orchardgrass-ladino clover; and Midland bermudagrass with sod seeded cereal rye, as pasture for lactating dairy cows. The bermudagrass became overmature and unpalatable in 1960, but in 1961 and 1962 the quality was improved through higher nitrogen fertilizat ...
