warm-season grass

Centipedegrass

Eremochloa ophiuroides

A warm-season species with cultivar-specific evidence in this library. TifBlair performed well under controlled soil drying in a greenhouse study.

Huang, Duncan & Carrow, 1997

Water response

TifBlair recovered shoot growth after rewatering in the tested system.

Huang, Duncan & Carrow, 1997

Evidence setting

Greenhouse tubes, rather than ordinary home lawns.

Huang, Duncan & Carrow, 1997

Care planning

The greenhouse result does not establish fertilizer rates or mowing heights.

Before you choose

This library has less direct field evidence for centipedegrass. It does not support borrowing a Bermuda fertilizer or mowing program.
