| Abstract/Contents: | "Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) cultivars with improved turfgrass quality and density are used on sports fields and other recreational sites where turfgrass managers are challenged to maintain uniform, safe playing surfaces. The objectives of these field trials were to 1) evaluate more recent cultivars and selections of tall fescue for wear tolerance and 2) examine the relationship between turfgrass quality, density, and wear tolerance in tall fescue. Evaluation trials were established in two locations in New Jersey, USA and were subjected to wear stress in 2007. 'Shenandoah III' had the best wear tolerance, density, and turf quality in both trials. Other entries exhibiting better wear tolerance, density, and quality included SC-1, 'Firecracker LS', 'Falcon V', 'Bullseye', 'Essential', 'Spyder LS', K06-WA, RKCL, 'Monet', 'Rhambler SRP', 'Turbo', and '3rd Millennium SRP', and RK 6. Wear tolerance was positively correlated to turfgrass density and quality in both trials. Thus, tall fescue breeding programs that improve turf quality and density also tend to improve wear tolerance as well; however, data from these trials indicate that screening for wear tolerance in tall fescue could hasten its development." |
