| Abstract/Contents: | "The fine fescues are well-adapted to many park and school ground areas. They can persist under moderate foot traffic but will not do well in areas continually used for intense athletic activities. Many school and park systems are under tight budget constraints. The ability of fine fescues to persist under reduced fertility and irrigation and their slower rate of vertical growth compared to other cool-season turfgrasses results in lower maintenance costs. The fine fescues are widely used in mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass and turf-type perennial ryegrasses. The five important species of fine fescue have different growth characteristics, levels of disease resistance and competitive abilities in mixtures. The following discussion will describe some of the merits of the important fine fescues species" including Chewings fescue, Slender creeping fescue, Creeping or spreading fescues, Hard fescues, Sheeps fescue, and Mixtures with fine fescues. |
