Abstract

Field studies were conducted from 1998 to 2000 at two locations in Fayette County to evaluate the effects of power plant by-product gypsum in comparison with agricultural gypsum on yield and quality of Coastal bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.)].  By-product gypsum and agricultural gypsum increased yearly coastal bermudagrass yield over the untreated check in only one year at one location over the 3-year test period.  No differences in crude protein content of bermudagrass were noted between untreated check and gypsum treatments.
