Abstract/Contents: | "Tall fescue is a very popular grass for lawn areas in northern Arkansas and throughout the transition zone. Identifying adapted cultivars for the region remains a central focus of the University of Arkansas turfgrass research program. The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program is the predominant means by which cultivars are tested throughout North America. A tall fescue cultivar trial, containing 113 entries, of which 54 are now commercially available cultivars, was planted in the fall of 2006 at Fayetteville, Ark. Cultivars were rated for turf color, overall turf quality, and turfgrass coverage several times during the 2009 growing season. The cultivars that rated highest for overall turfgrass quality during the 2009 growing season included Spyder LS, 3rd Millennium SRP, Cezanne RZ, Padre, Speedway, Gazelle II, Justice, and Falcon IV. However, the study experienced relatively mild environmental conditions during the 2009 growing season and very low disease pressure, so many cultivars performed well during this season." |
