| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station at Rutgers University to evaluate tall fescue cultivar breeding potential and disease resistance. Details the procedures used in the study, stating that "plots were established by hand seeding 0.88 oz [ounces] of seed within a 3 x 5 ft [feet] area [and] arranged in a randomized complete block design with a minimum of three replicates per entry...Tests were maintained at different fertility levels and mowing heights depending on the objective of the study and the occurrence of disease." Reports that, while varieties such as Lexus, Crossfire II, and Rebel 3D received high performance rankings, "there is a need for improvement in the area of resistance to diseases such as brown patch and pythium blight." Concludes that, "through breeding efforts, tall fescue characteristics...have been considerably improved [and] many of the newer varieties are being developed to contain viable turf endophytes." |
