Abstract/Contents:"Differences between 24 cool-season turfgrasses in one study and 16 cool-season turfgrasses in a second study were noted through the 1988-1989 winter growing season at Gainesville, Fl. Establishment of overseeded grass on `Tifgreen' Bermudagrass at the optimum seeding time in November was not correlated with germination rate in an incubator but establishment rate 7 weeks later during cooler weather was correlated with germination rate. Slow establishment of bentgrass in the field was not due to germination rate but to poor seedling vigor. Perennial ryegrasses, either seeded alone or in blends along with mixtures of `Laser' rough bluegrass and/or `James-town' chewings fescue, were superior in turf establishment, rate of grass cover, turf quality, and growth rate. The poor performance of `Exeter' and `Highland' colonial bentgrass, `Kingstown' velvet bentgrass, and `Streaker' redtop in these and earlier studies questions their value as a sole component for overseeding. Fertilizer coated `Penncross' creeping bentgrass performed no differently from uncoated seed. To be evaluated properly, future studies should evaluate coated and uncoated cultivars from the same seed lot. This has not been the case in all studies conducted to date. Tall fescue blend of `Mustang' and `Rebel' and a pure stand of `Tribute' Tall fescue performed well in our studies. Future studies involving pure stands, blends and mixtures of other Tall fescue cultivars are warranted."
