Abstract/Contents: | Describes an experiment conducted "in 1998 to determine if cool season turfgrass species could be overseeded into established warm season lawns and provide year long, green ground cover with very low labor and capital inputs." Reports that "turfgrass color was greatly influenced by overseeding" and "the early overseeded cool season species were able to establish and compete favorably with the winter weeds, but the late planted cool season species were not." Concludes that "overseeding of warm season lawns with cool season blends consisting of perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass provided an inexpensive, low maintenance green lawn throughout the winter months in Northwest Arkansas." |
