| Abstract/Contents: | "A 2-yr field study was conducted in Riverside, CA to compare short-term drought tolerance and recovery among 'Thermal Blue' and 'Dura Blue' Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) X Texas bluegrass (Poa arachnifera Torr.) hybrids (HBG); 'Apollo' and 'Envicta' Kentucky bluegrass (KBG); and 'Dynasty' and 'Kentucky-31' tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Shreb.) (TF). Mature turfgrasses were exposed to drought (no irrigation) or irrigation based on 110% of reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) for a period of 13 or 14 d during three tests in 2003 and two tests in 2004. All turf was then irrigated at 110% ETo for 18-21 d following each drought tests to evaluate recovery. Tall fescue drought tolerance was as good as or better than HBG and KBG according to visual leaf wilting/rolling/firing symptoms. Dynasty TF was consistently in the highest performing group among the cultivars for drought tolerance and turf quality. Few significant differences were observed between HBG and KBG cultivars. In general, Dura Blue HBG and Apollo KBG performed slightly better than Thermal Blue HBG and Envicta KBG, respectively and Kentucky-31 TF exhibited among the best drought tolerance but poorest turf quality. All turfgrass species made almost a complete recovery following each drought phase. Results indicated that neither HBG nor KBG appear to be replacements for TF in southern California as water availability becomes more limited." |
