Abstract

Landscaping creates a unique opportunity for establishment of lawn under urban landscape architecture. It provides sustainable development of green plants and natural landforms in crisis of space. Turfgrass is an inevitable part of urban agriculture. Turf also help to reduce noise levels by absorbing and deflecting sounds. Among different turf grasses, Bermuda grass occupies a prime position since it is a warm season perennial species with broad spectrum of adaptation from tropical to subtropical climates. It can be established by sodding, hydro mulching, sprigging, plugging, and stolonizing and seeding. Seeded Bermuda grass cultivars are widely used for their better quality. This study was carried out in Botanical Garden, Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Coimbatore to evaluate the performance of Bermuda hybrid pro through seed propagation. The experiment design was a Randomized Block Design with nine treatments with different N (5, 10, 20, 30 m2 N) and K (4,5,8,10 m2 K) applications. All the treatments were replicated thrice. Qualitative data was observed at 15 DAS, 30 DAS, 45 DAS. Results indicated that maximum plant height (14.92), shoot length (15.47), root length (7.28), leaf length (13.42), leaf width (0.48), internodal length (2.92) was observed at higher nutrient concentration (T8-30g/m2 N + 30g/m2 P + 10g/m2 K+ Vermicompost (250g).
