Photograph of a closeup of buffalograss (in front of sign) in impoundment basin number four at a depth of 5.0 feet following two floodings of 10 days during early spring (3/22-4/1/62) and mid-spring (5/3-13/62). There was a severe suppression of growth with approximately 25 percent of the top growth killed. This grass had recovered very well at the date of this photograph. For view of this grass when flooded for the same duration at a depth of 1.0 foot, see Ok-1760-10 dated 6/8/62. This research is under the suervision of Edd D. Rhoades, Agricultural Engineer, ARS-swc.
