| Abstract/Contents: | "The development of drought-tolerant turf cultivars can have a positive impact on future water resources. The objective of the following research was to evaluate the field drought tolerance of nine Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars and eighteen hybrid bluegrass (primarily P. pratensis × P. arachnifera Torr.) cultivars. The bluegrass entries were established in the field of Albany, OR, and evaluated under drought stress in the summer of 2006 and 2007. Drought tolerance and recovery following drought were measured using digital image analysis and were defined as the number of days until a cultivar reached 50% green tissue. Several Kentucky bluegrass cultivars, including Mallard, Bluestone, and Arrow, demonstrated significantly better drought tolerance than other Kentucky bluegrass and hybrid bluegrass cultivars. One hybrid bluegrass cultivar, Longhorn, and several experimental hybrids, had excellent drought tolerance in this trial. However, many of the hybrids tested in this trial did not have superior drought tolerance characteristics compared to the Kentucky bluegrasses tested. These results demonstrate that there is wide variability in drought tolerance among both Kentucky bluegrass and hybrid bluegrass and the broad screening of this genetic material under limited water can provide turfgrass managers with selections that can ultimately conserve water. In addition, these results demonstrate that there are no clear differences in drought tolerance between hybrid bluegrasses and Kentucky bluegrass." |
