BRISBANE AND BANGKOK 2011 - A TALE OF TWO FLOODS
Two major,yet contrasting,flood events in and around Brisbane (QLD,Australia) and Bangkok (Thailand) during 2011 provided opportunities to observe the effects of flooding on a range of different warm-season turfgrasses.Brisbane experienced “dirty floods due to the amount of silt carried and deposited by the faster moving waters,while Thailand experienced a “clean flood,but one of much longer duration,because the slower moving waters carried and deposited much less silt.These differences had major implications for the survival of different turfgrasses and for the restoration of turf facilities in the aftermath of the floods.The first step was to clean any deposited silt and debris off the surface,followed by hollow coring (to break through any remaining silt layers lodged within the turf canopy) and topdressing during the recovery process.Overall,bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) and hybrid bermudagrass (C.dactylon (L.) Pers.X transvaalensis Burtt- Davy) proved to be the species most tolerant of flooding,irrespective of depth and duration of inundation and silt deposition.Other factors that affected flood survival included plant health,growth habit and leaf morphology,and age of the turf sward.Implications for future research into flood tolerance are discussed.
