| Abstract/Contents: | "Lawns in the cool-humid region typically consist of species mixtures or cultivar blends. To maintain a high aesthetic appearance and maximize seasonal greenness, many lawns receive supplemental irrigation. Turfgrass breeders have developed superior cultivars with reduced water needs, but the exact proportion of these grasses to include in lawn seed blends and mixtures to improve performance and reduce irrigation needs has not been well documented. A field study was conducted over two growing seasons under a fixed roof rain-out shelter to determine the irrigation requirements of various blends using different ratios (0, 25, 50, 75, 100% by weight) of drought tolerant (DT) and susceptible (DS) Kentucky bluegrass (KBG) or tall fescue (TF) cultivars at two mowing heights (5.1 or 8.9 cm). Additionally, 90:10 TF:KBG mixtures of DT and DS cultivars were evaluated to determine the supplemental irrigation needs of these popular mixtures. Supplemental irrigation was determined using a 70% green coverage threshold (GCT70) approach, where 12.7 mm of supplemental irrigation was applied if an individual plot fell below GCT70 using digital image analysis. Total irrigation needs ranged from 61.9-173.9 mm over 74 days in year one and 42.7-134.3 mm over 60 days in year two. Irrigation needs generally ranked TF=TF:KBG < KBG. For KBG, a blend containing ā„ 75% DT cultivar took the longest to reach GCT70, 31-33 and 24 days, in year one and two, respectively, and needed the least irrigation while providing the highest overall visual quality. Mowing height did not affect KBG but TF mowed at 5.1 cm had lower irrigation needs and higher overall quality during year one. These results indicate that irrigation needs are strongly influenced by species, cultivar composition, and perhaps mowing height." |
