Variety
Development and Description:
|
 |
|
Mohawk (Mowhawk) is an advanced synthetic
turf-type Bermudagrass variety that resulted from the efforts of Lincoln Taylor, turfgrass
breeding consultant, emeritus from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the Virginia
Turfgrass Research Center. The goal was to develop a high quality seeded
Bermudagrass variety with cold tolerance sufficient to survive most severe winters in the
northern transition zone of the United States. This area which is located below the cold
temperate zone is characterized by hot, humid summers and cold winters. |
| Bermudagrass.com - Mohawk Characteristics: |
The Virginia Turfgrass Research Center developed a
freeze test to evaluate dormant Bermudagrass
during the winter. All eight `Mohawk'
parent clones rated high in the Virginia Turfgrass Research Center freeze test and
exhibited good turf quality. The clones included crosses with `Vamont', a cold
tolerant variety from Virginia used for sports fields and cold tolerant strains from West
Virginia and Kentucky.
Seeds West, Inc., Arizona, U.S.A, supported the Virginia research
efforts. Plant breeders for the Seeds West, Inc. Warm Season Turfgrass Program in
Arizona conducted repeated cycles of selection and seed production evaluation. Seeds
West, Inc., a subsidiary of Pennington Seed, Inc., Madison, Georgia, holds the rights to Mohawk
Mohawk was named for the Mohawk Valley in Arizona where
seed of this new fine textured, cold tolerant variety is produced. In sharp contrast
to the forbidding, jagged edges of the purple-hued Mohawk Mountain, the low
growing, lush green Mohawk Bermudagrass
seed production fields show off the
uniformity of this unique variety.
| Bermudagrass.com - Mohawk Advantages: |
Mohawk has increased turf density combined
with medium fine texture and dark green color. Its turf density is similar to Sultan
and its leaf texture is much finer than NuMex SAHARA. Since 1993, Mohawk has
delivered improved turf performance and cold tolerance in Virginia trials. It is
currently growing in trials in Arkansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and five locations in
China. In Oklahoma State University freeze chamber tests designed to kill one-half
of the tested plants; ` Mohawk' withstood temperatures of –
6.75 Centigrade. - Note that increased cold hardiness may result in
later green-up in some weather situations after cold winters.
Mohawk may be planted across the tropical and sub-tropical climate zones of
the world where Bermudagrass is currently grown and into the transition zone where it has
demonstrated the ability to survive winter conditions better than Common
Bermudagrass,
NuMex SAHARA Bermudagrass and others. |
SALT TOLERANCE: Mohawk is considered to be one of
the most salt tolerant variety of improved seeded Bermudas
available.

Recommendations |
For premium turfgrass use applications such as golf courses
(fairways, tees and roughs), sports turf (baseball, football and soccer), parks and lawns
where fine textured, dark green Bermudagrass
with increased turf density, durability and
cold tolerance is needed. --- Soil temps must be above 65 degrees for best
germination.
Fertilization:
- Mohawk responds well to applications of ½ lb. of Nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft.
- Repeat application as turf shows signs of fading color and diminished shoot
growth.
- Maximum of 5 to 10 pounds of actual N per 1000 sq. ft. per year.
Suggested Mowing Heights:
- Tees:¼ to 3/8 inch
- Fairways:½ to 5/8 inch
- Roughs:1 to 1-1/2 inch
