Abstract/Contents:"The Northeastern Regional Turfgrass Research Committee members have agreed that there is urgent need to find grasses or mixtures that will more nearly meet the needs of the vast majority of home owners. This need is for grasses that will perform on poor soils under various levels of neglect. Individual varieties of Kentucky bluegrass, several varieties of Kentucky bluegrass each with four different percentages of several perennial ryegrasses and the same bluegrasses with four different percentages of red fescue were seeded in September, 1978. Only half the recommended amount of fertilizer was used at establishment. The grasses will be fertilized only once annually, in September. They will not be irrigated and will be mown with a rotary mower. Two-hundred and seventy individual, 4 x 6 foot plots are included in these three studies. A group of Kentucky bluegrass cultivars in the regional trials were evaluated for efficiency of phosphorus and potassium recovery from the soil. The relationship between nutrient use efficiency, dry matter production and various aspects of carbon metabolism, such as the rate of photosynthetic CO2 fixation and the amount of 14C-photosynthate distributed to various plant parts was also investigated."
