| Abstract/Contents: | "The National Research Council (CNR) and the Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Policies (Mi.P.A.A.F.) funded a research project investigating the behavior of two tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) cultivars under different management conditions at eight different Italian locations. This paper reports the 2002 to 2005 results from Viterbo, central Italy, in a sub-Mediterranean climate. Five treatments were compared: cv. Safari (turf-type) mowed at two heights, 2.8 and 3.8 cm; cv. 'Noria' (forage type) mowed at 3.8 cm, at 3.8 cm starting when minimal temperature were steadily above 10 °C, mowed every 45 days). All treatments were evaluated under two irrigation levels (80% and 0% potential evapotranspiration , ETp). Plots were maintained at a low input level. Clipping production and turf density were measured. This trial showed that 'Safari' produced more clippings and has a higher shoot density if mowed at 2.8 cm than at 3.8 cm. Also 'Noria' produced more clippings if mowed infrequently. A limited interaction of irrigation x mowing was noted in both cultivars. Non-irrigated plots showed poor turf quality, but demonstrated the ability to maintain some ground cover over several years." |
