| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses rooting of dwarf-type tall fescue, stating that "in a hydroponic study, researchers in Nebraska found that dwarf- and turf-type cultivars and lines had the best responses for total root production and distribution." Reports that they "compared dwarf tall fescues Bonsai, Monarch, Shortstop II and an experimental (5-DD) to a number of turf-type tall fescues, intermediate tall fescues (5-ERG and Kentucky-31) and a forage-type (Kenhy)." Explains that "by measuring root dry weight and root distribution, the researchers found no evidence of reduced root production or distribution when comparing dwarf-type and turf-type with intermediate or forage types." |
