| Abstract/Contents: | Presents the results of the 2007 fine fescue tests of the New Jersey turf trials. Profiles fine fescues, stating that "they are commonly identified by their very fine leaf texture." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "tests were fertilized at different rates of nitrogen (N) and were maintained at different mowing heights...The seven tests were evaluated throughout the year by visually rating for turf quality." Reports that "in general, the Chewings, hard, and strong creeping red fescues performed better than the other species; many selections formed a dense, attractive turf." Also reports turf cover and disease resistance results. Mentions the results of the low-maintenance cultivar evaluation. Concludes that "breeding efforts continue to improve turf-type characteristics in the fine fescues. In an effort to increase the overall sustainability of the turfgrass system, special attention is paid to drought, insect, and disease resistance in the Rutgers turfgrass breeding program." |
