Question: | "What would your comments be on including crested dogstail (Cynosurus cristatus) in seeds mixtures for our various sports areas?" |
Answer/Response: | "On recent experimental evidence crested dogstail has not shown the ability to withstand close mowing, i.e. 3/16 in. and therefore we would suggest that it be excluded from mixtures for close mown turf. We have also found that on turf mown at 7/16 in. this species develops patchily and does not appear to blend with finer grasses. It may however have its uses as a bottom grass for thickening up swards in general sportsfield areas. Somehow or other the crested dogstail on the market nowadays does not seem as good as it used to be and no good new varieties are yet available." |
