BERMUDAGRASS: Cynodon spp.
Bermudagrass is widely used for all kinds of turf in warm humid and warm semi-arid regions. It thrives best where the average daily temperature is above 77 degrees Fahrenheit and stops growing under 61 degrees, turning brown at temperatures below 50 degrees. Bermudagrass does not tolerate shade, poor drainage, or high soil acidity. It is a very drought resistant grass but for normal growth it needs water and can't be grown in arid regions without irrigation. Due to good wear tolerance and good recuperation, it is an ideal sports turf grass. It is also very tolerant to close mowing, making it suitable for golf greens.
