| Abstract/Contents: | "Newer cultivars of tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and hybrid bluegrass may have improved drought tolerance and expanded the range of cool-season turfgrasses for home lawn use in Arkansas. The objective of this research is to compare the drought tolerance of 42 cultivars of these species when maintained as a lawn. Cultivars were established in fall 2006 and dried down during the summers of 2007 and 2008 in a rain-out shelter, which prevented rainfall from reaching the plots. Green turf coverage was evaluated twice weekly as the cultivars were subjected to drought stress. In 2008, the amount of time after irrigation was withheld until green turf coverage dropped to 50% varied by over three weeks among cultivars. On average, the tall fescue cultivars were the most drought tolerant and Kentucky bluegrass the least, while there was no clear trend in drought tolerance among the hybrid bluegrass cultivars. These results are similar to those reported in 2007." |
