| Abstract/Contents: | Presents the results of "two National Turfgrass Evaluation [Program] (NTEP) tall fescue tests...established in August 2001 at the Hancock Research Center at Michigan State University (MSU)." Explains that "the first test was established for quality evaluation which indicates the overall appearance of the turf and can incorporate several components including density, texture, uniformity, color, and freedom from disease and insect damage. The second test was established for traffic tolerance evaluation which is the combination of wear and compaction stress that occurs whenever a turf is exposed to foot or vehicular traffic." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "each test includes 160 commercial cultivars...each cultivar was seeded in 4 by 6 plots at a rate of 4.4 lb [pounds] of seed per 1000 sq. ft. [square feet]." Profiles tall fescue, stating that it "is a resilient grass that adapts well to a wide range of growing conditions. It is used in home lawns, grounds, parks, playgrounds and forages. It is also a popular choice for low maintenance areas such as airports, fairgrounds, or as a highway roadside stabilizer or for soil erosion control." Comcludes that "some tall fescue cultivars with high turfgrass quality show higher traffic tolerance while other show low traffic tolerance." |
