The effects of daily light integral and traffic stress on bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.)

Abstract

The indoor growth experiment using the LED lighting system was conducted to evaluate the effects of light conditions and tread pressure treatment on three Bermuda grass cultivars (Celebration, TifGrand, and Tifway). The experiment was conducted under five conditions combining different daily integrated light levels and tread pressure treatment conditions. The result of the quantification theory first family showed that TifGrand had more dry weight inside the pot frame and Celebration had more dry weight outside the pot frame. DLI has a significant effect on the increase or decrease in above- and below-ground parts dry weight of the test plants, and tread pressure treatment has a significant effect on the increase or decrease in belowground parts and creeping stems dry weight. Therefore, it is important to devise methods at the design stage to bring sunlight into the stadium and during the recovery period after the stadium is used.
