| Abstract/Contents: | Fifth year of study designed to compare the response of Falcon, Houndog, Kentucky 31, Mustang, and Rebel tall fescue at 0-, 2-, and 4-lb nitrogen (N)/1000ft2/yr and cutting heights of 2 and 3 in. One pound of N was applied once during each month of May and September for the 2-lb tratment and during April, May, August, and September for the 4-lb treatment. In the strip-split plot arrangement, all six combinations of the two management factors are placed in a 2 ft by 3 ft block within each cultivar with the five cultivars replicated three times. Includes a table on effects of clipping height and fertility level on turf quality ratings from May to September 1988. Ratings include means and least significant difference values. The 3 in cut resulted in higher quality turf for all cultivars. Turf quality increased with each increment of N for all of the cultivars at both mowing heights. Each cultivar performed best at a 2 in mowing height and 4 lb N/1000 ft2/yr. The cut appeared to respond better to the drought in 1988 than the 2 in cut. Mustang was the best cultivar under higher maintenance conditions in 1988. In general, each of the turf-type cultivars performed better than Kentucky 31. |
