| Abstract/Contents: | "The quality of natural turfgrass playing surfaces can be improved with the establishment of traffic stress tolerant turfgrasses. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is among the most frequently established cool-season turfgrasses on sports fields and other highly trafficked recreational sites throughout temperate climates in the United States. The objective of this field trial was to assess Kentucky bluegrass traffic stress tolerance during summer and autumn. Three replications of 90 entries (including the 2017 NTEP Kentucky bluegrass test) were seeded in September 2017 on a loam in North Brunswick, NJ. During summer 2019, thirty-two traffic passes were applied as a strip across entries using a combination of the Rutgers Wear Simulator (RWS) and the Cady Traffic Simulator during 1 to 24 July (4 pass wk-1 with each machine during a 4 wk traffic period). The autumn 2019 traffic period consisted of 28 traffic passes; fourteen passes with the RWS and fourteen passes with a pavement roller (1135 kg) during 11 September to 8 October. Uniformity of turf cover (1 to 9 scale) was visually evaluated and digital images were captured after each seasonal traffic period on no-traffic and traffic plots; digital image analysis was used to determine green cover (%). Data were analyzed as a 2 (no traffic and traffic) x 90 (entries) factorial strip-plot design. Traffic reduced uniformity of turf cover and green cover of all entries compared to no-traffic during both seasons. Entries with the best uniformity of turf cover and green cover after summer traffic were A16-17, BAR PP 7K426, BAR PP 7309V, BAR PP 71213, DLFPS-340/3549, PST-K15-172, Jersey (NAI-A16-3), KH3492, PPG-KB 1131, DLFPS-340/3552, PST-K15-167. Entries with the best uniformity of turf cover and green cover after autumn traffic were Barvette HGT, BAR PP 71213, A16-17, and RAD 553." |
