What is cynodon?

cynodone is a type of permanent grass forming sod, which is more often known as Bermudagrass or dental dogs of dogs. It is often used as a lawn grass for sports fields, golf courses, parks and lawns. This grass is originally from Southeast Africa, but is often used as a general lawn in Australia, India, South America and the southeastern part of the United States. Bermudagrass is located in more than 100 countries around the world.

In recent years, Cynodon also began to gain popularity in the US state of Hawaii and the southern part of Missouri. There are some limitations to the use of this type of grass in Hawaii, because any hybrid cultivated version of cynodone must first go through a strict quarantine policy of Hawaii before use in the state. Despite these restrictions, several hybrid versions are already used on many popular golf courses in Hawaii (38.1 to 60.96 cm) if growth in itself and is not maintained by regular mowing. It's a creeping grass that has a narrow leaf pinEle and spread by fish, stolons or seeds. The most productive growing time for cynodon in the US is usually the months of June, July and August.

Although this type of grass can adapt to many different soil conditions, in general, the best is best done with a pH balance of 5.5 or more. It prefers well -drained soil and full to partial sun. Cynodone makes poorly under weak or shaded conditions. The amount of sunlight it receives every day actually determines how well it will be.

While cynodone is considered extremely tolerant drought, it does not mean a good lawn when it is forced to survive under these types of conditions. This is due to the fact that during a period of serious drought becomes semi -decorated. Then it recovered rhizomes and stolons as soon as the water is available again.

There are several insects that can cause problems for Cynodon Turf. On the leaves of this grass will make a living wormY, army worms, web worms and Bermudagrass mites. White Grubs, perhaps cause the greatest damage by actually living the roots of the plant. When the grass is strong and has the right control, it is usually able to tolerate the small population of this insects. Biological methods such as the introduction of milk diseases or baccilus thuringensis may be required for greater infestation. If these methods are ineffective, chemical insecticide can be used together with these biological methods to reduce the infestation to a more acceptable level.
