Abstract/Contents:Presents the results of breeding and evaluation trials for wear tolerance in Kentucky bluegrases, perennial ryegrasses, and tall fescues. Explains that "during the summer and fall of 2007, turfgrass trials located at Hort Farm II, North Brunswick, New Jersey, and the Adelphia Research Center, Freehold, NJ [New Jersey] were subjected to uniform wear by the [Rutgers Turfgrass Wear Simulator]." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "most of these trials were replicated cultivar trials with 3 replications in a randomized complete design. Two of the trials were single replication progeny turf trials." Reports that "two replicated tall fescue trials at Adelphia were worn during the fall of 2007. The 2004 trial received 28 passses and the 2005 trial received 18 passes. The wear ratings in the 2004 trial ranged from 6.1 to 2.7 with the entries ATL-58, ATM-18, CR-3, ATF-1226, Inferno, CR1-WT, ATE-21, Six Point, and ATF-1235 topping the trial. The poorest performing cultivars were KY-31 and Southeast." Concludes that "it appears that vigorous plants with superior disease resistance and heat tolerance will contribute to wear tolerance in the future."
