Abstract/Contents:Presents a low input sustainable turfgrass regional cooperative research project, which involves 11 mid-west land-grant universities, established in September 2007 to "identify alternative grass species that are adapted to this region with minimum input and to obtain information on best management practice for each species identified." List the thirteen turfgrass species used and details the methods of the study, stating that "plots were mown every month during the growing season except for the no mow treatment. The experiment is a random complete block design with the three replications." Reports that "tall fescue, meadow fescue, hard fescue as well as sheep fescue consistently performed well under all three mowing regimes from May to September."
