Abstract/Contents: | "Typical turfgrass species often receive substantial inputs of water, fertilizer, chemicals, and cultural management, particularly in the Intermountain U.S. Plant materials that do not require these inputs and that also maintain acceptable levels of turf quality and performance are desirable in low-maintenance/limited irrigation situations. However, there is a lack of plant material that fits this description. Crested wheatgrass is a potential source of turf varieties for semi-arid regions and is the focus of current breeding efforts to improve its turf characteristics. This study examined implications of irrigation interval, mowing height, nitrogen fertilization, and cultivar selection on the performance of crested wheatgrass turf. While irrigation interval, mowing height, and cultivar affected performance, the application of nitrogen fertilization was the critical factor for maintaining the quality of crested wheatgrass turf under the conditions of this study. Regardless of the treatments imposed, crested wheatgrass turf performance declines during the hot summer months." |
