| Abstract/Contents: | "Many cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) have been developed since the release of the first turf-type selection 'Merion' in 1947 and can be classified based on highly diverse growth and performance characteristics. The objective of this study was to assess the turf performance of Kentucky bluegrass within and among different phenotypic classifications in response to simulated traffic that produced both wear and compaction. The classification types examined in this paper include: Compact, Compact-Midnight, Compact-America, Mid-Atlantic, Julia, CELA, Aggressive, Shamrock, BVMG, Common, and Other. The evaluation trial consisted of the 173 entries of the 2000 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Kentucky bluegrass test and was subjected to simulated traffic during 2002 and 2003. Among the Kentucky bluegrass classification types evaluated in this study, Compact-Midnight, Mid-Atlantic, CELA, and Julia types displayed the best turfgrass performance under simulated traffic based on both single year data and the two-year mean; however, only three cultivars and selections were classified as Mid-Atlantic ecotypes and only one cultivar was classified as a CELA type. The Compact-Midnight and Julia types offer a starting point from which turfgrass managers can select Kentucky bluegrass cultivars for use on high-traffic areas. While the remaining types are not a useful starting point to select cultivars for high traffic, individual cultivar performance under traffic should be examined to ensure that better performing cultivars within these types are not overlooked." |
