摘要

自动(即机器人)割草机最近引起了公众和草坪行业的兴趣。然而,关于它们在暖季草坪草割草中的应用的研究有限。在佛罗里达大学的西佛罗里达研究和教育中心(Jay, FL, USA)进行了一项实验,以调查自动割草机在圣奥古斯丁草(second - undatum)上使用低于建议切割高度的割草机的性能。治疗方法包括一个自动割草机,割高2.5英寸,每天割一次,一个传统的覆盖割草机,每周割一次,建议割高3.5英寸。数据收集包括每周的数字图像,并进行数字图像分析,以确定草坪草的总体质量、绿化覆盖率和均匀性。与传统割草机相比,自动割草机在1月至3月和11月的草坪草整体质量更高,11月至4月的绿化覆盖率更高。此外,自动割草机比传统割草机产生更大的草坪均匀性。结果表明,自动割草机可以成功地用于保持圣奥古斯丁草低于建议的切割高度。

Autonomous Compared with Conventional Mower Use on St. Augustinegrass Lawn Quality
Autonomous (i.e., robotic) mowers have recently garnered interest with the public and within the turfgrass industry. However, limited research has been conducted on their use for mowing warm-season turfgrasses. An experiment was conducted at the University of Florida’s West Florida Research and Education Center (Jay, FL, USA) to investigate the performance of an autonomous mower using a lower than recommended height-of-cut on St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum). Treatments included an autonomous mower with a height-of-cut of 2.5 inches set to mow daily and a conventional mulching mower with weekly mowing at recommended height-of-cut of 3.5 inches. Data collection included weekly digital images that were subjected to digital image analysis to determine overall turfgrass quality, percent green cover, and uniformity. The autonomous mower resulted in greater overall turfgrass quality from January to March and in November, and greater green cover from November to April compared with conventional mowing. Additionally, the autonomous mower produced greater turfgrass uniformity than conventional mowing. Results indicate that autonomous mowers can be successfully used to maintain St. Augustinegrass at a lower than recommended height-of-cut.
