| Abstract/Contents: | Presents an experiment conducted to evaluate the performance of perennial ryegrass cultivars. Explains that "perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a cool-season grass that has become increasingly popular among homeowners, sports turf managers, and golf course superintendents...perennial ryegrass performs well in a wide variety of soil conditions and while it will tolerate partial shade, prefers to be planted in full sun." Describes the experimental procedures, including that "all tests were rated throughout the growing season for visual turf quality...[for example], overall appearance, turf color, uniformity, density, mowing quality, reduced rate of vertical growth, leaf texture, and damage due to insects and diseases." Reports that "considerable improvements have been made in the overall quality of turf type perennial ryegrasses...varieties such as All*Star 3, Exacta II GLSR, and Paragon GLR as well as many promising experimentals are darker green, more uniform in appearance, are denser with a lower growth habit, and exhibit cleaner mowing and better tolerance to diseases and insects." Concludes that "although considerable improvements have been made to perennial ryegrasses, an increase in genetically stable resistance to gray leaf spot, crown rust, dollar spot, pink patch, red thread, and brown patch is still needed." |
