Bermudagrass

Cynodon dactylon

Bermudagrass is widely used for all kinds of turf in warm humid and warm semi-arid regions. It thrives best where the average daily temperature is above 25 degrees Celsius and stops growing under 16 degrees, turning brown at temperatures below 10 degrees. Bermudagrass does not tolerate shade, poor drainage, or high soil acidity. It is a very drought resistant grass but for normal growth it needs water and can't be grown in arid regions without irrigation. Due to good wear tolerance and good recuperation, it is and ideal sports turf grass. It is also very tolerant to close mowing, making it suitable for golf greens in areas as described.
