Abstract/Contents: | Discusses whether or not sports turf managers should consider overseeding turf-type tall fescue (TTTF). States that "these aesthetic improvements have allowed TTTF to gain popularity in the lawn industry, especially in and around the transition zone," however "one of the main concerns about TTTF is its unknown traffic tolerance shortly after seeding." Overviews two experiments meant to evaluate the traffic tolerance of 10 TTTF cultivars and how seeding rates and nitrogen fertility affect fall traffic tolerance of TTTF after spring establishment. Concludes that TTTF can be successfully used as an alternative to perennial ryegrass for summer renovation of sports fields if you can restrict play for at least 14 weeks. |
