| Abstract/Contents: | Presents an experiment conducted to evaluate the performance of Kentucky bluegrass cultivars. States that "Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is one of the most widely used cool-season turfgrasses in the northern United States and Canada. Kentucky bluegrass has the ability to develop dense stands of dark green turf with a clean mowing quality in a wide range of soils and climates." Explains that "Kentucky bluegrass can exhibit poor performance during summer months, especially in the transition zone and subtropical climates, due to heat and drought stress as well as insect and disease pressure." Describes the experimental procedure, stating that "all tests were rated frequently throughout the growing season for turf quality. Components of quality include color, brightness, leaf texture, density, uniformity, and amount of damage due to diseases and insects." Reports that "the faster the turfgrass stand can form a dense canopy the better is its ability to form a high quality, weed-free surface. Kentucky bluegrass cultivars that readily form a dense turf stand include Impact, Excursion, Prosperity, and Sonoma, whereas Skye, Moon Beam, and Touche were slower to establish." Mentions that "Kentucky bluegrass is grown for many uses under a diverse range of soil, environmental, and management conditions. As a result, there is a demand for cultivars that produce durable, high quality turf for an assortment of uses under a broad range of conditions." |
