Abstract/Contents:Presents a study initiated in 2010 with the primary objectives to "(1) evaluate the turf quality and performance of Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis) accessions collected from the Intermountain West," "(2) evaluate the seed production potential of Idaho fescue accessions to confirm reproductive potential from seed," and "(3) select superior individual plants of Idaho fescue and establish them in seed productions blocks for use in development of improved synthetic cultivars with superior turfgrass quality." Details methods and materials used during the experiment, noting that "42 accessions of Idaho fescue were acquired from industry and USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] seedbank sources." Reports that "accessions varied in number of green individuals, summer dormancy, and growth habit," and that they "showed similar leaf texture characteristics of [to] other fine fescues." Concludes that "field observations suggest good opportunity for turf-type Idaho fescue development."

USGA Summary Points:Thirty-six Idaho fescue accessions were established in the field. Accessions varied in number of green individuals, summer dormancy, and growth habit. Accessions showed similar leaf texture characteristic of other fine fescues. Field observations suggest good opportunity for turf-type Idaho fescue development.
