| Abstract/Contents: | Evaluated commercial cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass (11 var.), Perennial ryegrass (7 var.), Red fescue (7 var.), and Colonial bentgrass (3 var.) at Marina Golf Course, San Leaudro, CA. The course had a serious soil laying problem because of the area's previous use as a landfill. All tested varieties were hand seeded to 100 sq. ft. plots. Each treatment was replicated 4 times and the plot layout was a randomized complete block design. The seeding ratios per 1000 sq. Ft. were: Kentucky bluegrass, 3 lbs.; Red fescue 6 lbs.; Perennial ryegrass 10 lbs.; and Colonial bentgrass 2 lbs. The test area was mowed to 1 1/2 in. once weekly, after initial establishment, the cultivars were fertilized with approx. 2 lbs. of nitrogen/1000 sq. ft. once a year , and were irregated as needed. During 1972 reduced growth and leaf burn were noted. Test results indicated an avereage salt exchange bridge reading of 11.4 millimhos/cm. As a Species, Perennial ryegrass had the highest average turf score data reflecting the specie's intermediate to good salt tolerance. The varieties Pelo and Manhattan had the best results. Red fescue and Colonial bentgrass had the poorest performance under high salt stress with very little difference in results between varieties. Kentucky bluegrass had species average that indicated poor tolerance of the salinity at the test site. However, there were obvious differences in variety performance. Merion Kentucky bluegrass was practically eliminated by the time the ratings were made. Fylking Kentucky bluegrass produced a very acceptable stand throughout the test period. In an area with salinity readings exceeding 11 nillinhos/cm, most varieties of Red fescue and Colonial bentgrass gave poor turf quality. Varieties of Kentucky bluegrass performed from quite well to very poor under these test conditions. This article lists specific commercial cultivars for each species along with average (observations) turfgrass scores at the experimental location and statewide for 1973. |
