| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) as "a cool-season grass native to Europe and parts of Africa that is widely used as both a forage and turfgrass in much of the United States." States that "five tall fescue tests were established in New Jersey between 2000 and 2003. A single test was established each year at the Rutgers Plant Science Research and Extension Farm in Adelphia, [New Jersey]." Compares the results of each tall fescue tests in regard to turf quality, disease resistance, and color. Concludes that "tall fescue performs better than most other cool-season turfgrasses under high temperature and low moisture conditions due, in part, to its extensive and deep root system," but "a major weakness of tall fescue is its susceptibility to brown patch, thus the Rutgers breeding program is focusing on developing cultivars that can better tolerate disease pressure." |
