Abstract/Contents:Presents an experiment conducted to evaluate the performance of fine fescue cultivars. Describes the experiment procedures, stating that "the five tests were evaluated throughout the year by visually rating for turf quality." Provides information on the cultivars' turf quality, establishment, percent cover, low maintenance cultivar evaluation, rust resistance and drought tolerance. Reports that "establishment in the fine fescues varied among the cultivars within any given species" and that "[percent] cover for Zodiac Chewings fescue and Cardinal strong creeping red fescue was almost 100% after 3 years of growth." Mentions that "in an effort to increase the overall sustainability of the turfgrass sytem, special attention is paid by the Rutgers breeding program to drought, insect, and disease resistance. The goal of the program is to develop turfgrasses adapted to stressful conditions in order to improve quality with fewer inputs."
