Abstract/Contents: | Presents an experiment conducted during the spring and fall of 2006 at the Horticulture Research Farm in Ames,Iowa, to "evaluate the relative establishment rate of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) when established under traffic stimulation." States that the "experimental design was a Randomized Complete block with a split plot arrangement." Reports that "during spring/summer establishment the traffic tolerance of grass species ranked in order from best to worst were: annual rye = perennial rye > tall fescue > Kentucky bluegrass...During autumn establishment the traffic tolerance of grass species ranked in order from best to worst were: annual rye [greater than or equal to] perennial rye > tall fescue > Kentucky bluegrass." |
