| Abstract/Contents: | Presents an experiment conducted to evaluate the performance of tall fescue cultivars. Explains that "all tests were rated throughout the growing season for visual turf quality...[for example], overall appearance, turf color, uniformity, desity, mowing quality, reduced rate of vertical growth, leaf texture, and damage due to insects and diseases." Reports that "the major disease for tall fescue in cool-humid environments is brown patch...while significant differences in brown patch susceptibility existed among the cultivars and selections evaluated, each plot was affected to some degree by the disease." Mentions that "one characteristic that limits the use of tall fescue for turf situations such as athletic fields is its slow recovery after traffic stress occurs." Concludes that "due to improvements in shade tolerance, density, leaf texture, and color, tall fescue has become a more popular choice for many turfgrass situations." |
