Abstract/Contents: | Describes the performance of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) in turf evaluation trials, conducted in New Jersey between 2000 and 2003. Results include that "great improvements have been made in overall turf quality of tall fescue" and "there are no turf-type tall fescue cultivars with complete resistance to brown patch." Concludes that "improvements in shade tolerance, density, leaf texture, and color have made tall fescue a more popular selection in many turfgrass situations." Also concludes that "the major weakness of tall fescue is its susceptibility to brown patch, thus the Rutgers breeding program is focusing on developing cultivars that can better handle brown patch disease pressure." |
