| Abstract/Contents: | Presents the performance results of tall fescue cultivars in New Jersey turf trials. States that "research at the New Jersey Experiment Station includes the study of beneficial turfgrass endophytes in tall fescue...The development of cultivars that contain endophytes may lead to many more uses for tall fescue as a turfgrass, and plant breeders continue to look for new sources of these beneficial fungi." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "five tall fescue tests were established in New Jersey between 2001 and 2004. A single test was established each yeat at Adelphia...and in 2001 at North Brunswick." Reports results of turf quality, disease resistance, color, spring green-up, density, and leaf texture. States that "as plant breeders continue to develop cultivars with improved turf quality and disease resistance, tall fescue is certain to be used more widely in the turf industry. Improvements in shade tolerance, density, leaf texture, and color have made tall fescue a more popular selection in many turfgrass situations." Concludes that "the major weakness of tall fescue is susceptibility to brown patch, thus the Rutgers breeding program is focusing on developing cultivars that can better handle brown patch disease pressure. |
