| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a study conducted in September 26, 2003, and October 1, 2004, at the Iowa State University Horticulture Research Farm on a Nicollet soil with 4 percent organic matter to "determine effective renovation seeding dates and turfgrass species that optimize turf cover for football activities." Details the methods of the study, explaining that "three species of turfgrass, Kentucky bluegrass...perennial ryegrass...and tall fescue were used...The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 3 replications and 2 factors (species and seeding dates)...Turf cover was evaluated before each seeding and on 29 Jun [June] of 2004 and 12 Jul [July] of 2005." Summarizes the results of the two trials, stating that "the response for TF [tall fescue] was similar to KB [Kentucky bluegrass] in that there was a period in the autumn and spring when seeding resulted in lower turf cover the following year...Autumn and spring seeding dates had less influence on the amount of turfgrass cover that would result just prior to the following summer football practice season in July." |
