Abstract/Contents: | This is the sixth year of data from the trial established in the fall of 1982 in conjunction with several identical trials across the country coordinated by the USDA. The purpose of the trial is to identify regional adaptation of the 48 perennial ryegrass cultivars. Cultivars are evaluated each month of the growing season for turf quality and disease. The trial is maintained at a 2 in mowing height with 3 to 4 lb N/1000 ft2 through out the growing season and is irrigated when needed to prevent drought. Preemergence herbicide is applied once in the spring and broadleaf herbicide is applied once in September to control weeds. A table is presented for May through October 1988 turf quality ratings including mean and least significant different values. The top cultivars in 1988 were Diplomat, 282(citaim II), Cupido, Omega although there were no satisfied differences among the top 30 cultivars. Several of the top performers in 1988 were experimental cultivars, indicating new releases of well adapted cultivars can be expected in future years. |
