Abstract/Contents:Discusses five tall fescue evaluation tests "established at the Rutgers Plant Biology and Pathology Research and Extension Farm in Adelphia, [New Jersey] between 2003 and 2006." Details materials and procedures used in the tests, stating that "all tests were established in August or September by hand sowing 0.88 ounces of seed per 3 x 5 foot plot (3.7 pounds per 1000 square feet) and were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Each plot had a 6-inch unseeded border to limit contamination." Presents the results of the study, focusing on "turf quality, disease resistance, and wear tolerance" as primary evaluation results. Reports that "improvements in shade tolerance, density, leaf texture, and color...have made it possible for tall fescue to be used effectively in mixtures with other turfgrass species, especially Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.)."
