Abstract/Contents:"There is an increasing demand for low-maintenance turfgrass varieties to reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, protect the environment, and save time and money. The Rutgers Turfgrass Center continues to evaluate new and existing turfgrass varieties for low maintenance lawns. In Fall 2007, a trial was set up to examine some of the suggested low maintenance turfgrass varieties at the EARTH Center facility of Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Middlesex County, NJ. A total of 11 treatments were replicated four times in a randomized complete-block design. A standard premium sun and shade seed mix was selected as a control for the trial. Germination and growth rates were recorded. From 2007 through the 2008 growing season, all the plots were evalutated from weed density, color, and percent coverage. Minimal amounts of fertilizer and water have been applied since seedling establishment in 2007. Preliminary results show fescues performing very well but additional data will be collected to determine the relative success of each variety in a low-input, low-maintenance environment. The evaluation parameters are compared independently of each other and the compilation of this information will be invaluable to consumers, commercial landscapers, and superintendents interested in designing a low-maintenance landscape. Initial results indicate that select turf-type tall fescues were quick to establish and demonstrated outstanding establishment and performance under low maintenance conditions."
