31 百慕達草之特性與利用 黃文達 張新軒 台灣大學農藝系 摘 要 百慕達草為一種生長快速、莖葉密集、匍匐性的草種，應用在草坪上共 有五個種(species) 。普通百慕達草(Cynodon dactylon)及 Pilger 百慕達草(C. plectostachyum )草質粗硬，覆蓋度低，作為公園及休閒地綠化以及牧草使用， 其栽培方法為種子及草莖繁殖。而Bradely 百慕達草(C. bradleyi) 、Magennis 百慕達草(C. magenisii)及非洲百慕達草(C. transvaalensis)等草質細緻，適合高 爾夫球場的果嶺及球道，以及庭院使用。許多草坪型百慕達草均由上述三個 物種的種間雜交所育成，故此類育成品系皆藉由草莖、草塊的營養繁殖而形 成綠茵草坪，而刈割高度及頻度依不同用途而異。百慕達草在扦插後，噴施 殺草劑 Lasso+Atrazine 防除闊葉雜草。在高爾夫球場之果嶺應使用 Diclofop 及MSMA+Metribuzin 均可有效防除頑劣之牛筋草(Eleusine indica) 。 關鍵詞：百慕達草、草坪、雜草防除、刈割高度、刈割頻度。 Characters and Utilizations of Bermudagrass Wen-Dar Huang and Shin-Shine Chang Department of Agronomy, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan Abstract Bermudagrass is a very vigorous, warm-season grass with the prostate growth habit. There are five types of bermudagrass in turf use. Common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and Pilger bermudagrass (C. plectostachyum) that have relatively coarse texture and low shoot density with excessive seed 32 中華民國雜草學會會刊第二十一卷第一期 中華民國89 年6 月 formation are primarily utilized as a general-purpose turf on roadside, ground and pasture by sprig and seed establishment. Bradely bermudagrass (C. incompletus, African bermudagrass (C. transvalensis) and Magensis bermudagrass (C. dactylon × magenisii )that have the finer leaf texture and higher shoot density form a dense, uniform turf of high quality, when grown under proper climate and cultural condition. Those three species provide a very good play surface for athletic field, tees, fairways and lawns. A number of the turf-type bermudagrass cultivars were developed by interspecific hybridization between those three species.
