Description
Home owners and local and regional governments in Florida desire low maintenance ground covers. Therefore four xerophytic turfgrasses were evaluated for persistence. Turfgrasses were grown since late July 1990, along an access road to a public park and Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Percent cover, leaf water potential, and quantitative chlorophyll levels were determined for commercial Argentine Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) and three experimental grasses: Bahiagrass cv. Rapid Cover Polycross (RCP-2) (Paspalum notatum); St. Augustinegrass cv. FX-10 (Stenotaphyrum secundatum); and Buffalograss cv. Prairie (Buchloe dactyloides) after 12 months of biweekly irrigation and natural rainfall. Argentine Bahiagrass and St. Augustinegrass cv. FX-10 were the best performers while Buffalograss cv. prairie and RCP-2 were poor performers in this study.
