Abstract/Contents:Studied high- maintenance, nonirrigated performance of 80 Kentucky Bluegrass cultivars under conditions similar to those found in a nonirrigated lawn that receives a standard lawn care program. Trial is part of United States Department of Agriculture northern regional Kentucky Bluegrass cultivar trials. Cultivars, replicated 3 times, were established in 1985, received 4 pounds nitrogen/1000 sq. ft./yr. and are not irrigated. Monthly quality ratings (May to October) with the 1988 average are presented in a table with the least significant difference value. This trial provided useful information following recovery from the drought in 1988. Common varieties such as Kenblue and South Dakota Common recovered most quickly from dormancy. Aquila also demonstrated good postdormancy recovery as did Mystic. (Mystic's early recovery was observed in only two of the three replications.) It is interesting that even under a higher fertility regime, the common types seem to tolerate extended droughts better than most improved cultivars. . Kenblue, Freedom, Aquila, Able I, and South Dakota received highest quality ratings for 1988.
