Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted "to evaluate the germination rate of...grasses and to assess their suitability for athletic sports. Details the methods and materials used, stating that "the plots were set up as a randomized complete block design. Each rep [replication] had 16 treatments." Reports that "PRG [perennial ryegrass] and Festulolium treatments germinated (3-5 days) & established quickly." Also reports that "fast establishing treatments did not have prohibitive crabgrass pressure, compared to the slower establishing treatments." |
