Fig. 1. Bermudagrass quality (1–9 relative scale) as affected by management program and cultivar, 1999 to 2000. Asterisks (*) within each cultivar indicate significant differences between management treatments at that date, as determined by Duncan's mean square separation at = 0.05. Downward and upward facing arrows in the top two figures indicate when vertical mowing was applied for standard and high management treatments, respectively. Break in time on the x axis indicates the winter period when cultural management treatments were not imposed on overseeded bermudagrass.
