Abstract/Contents:Summarizes research presented at the 2010 University of Connecticut Field Day, conducted "to evaluate the quality response of various turfgrass species to minimal inputs of fertilizers, water, and pesticides." Includes four research subprojects, including "quality evaluation of low maintenance fine leaf fescues," "quality evaluation of low input mixtures of turfgrass species," "Scott's heat tolerant Kentucky bluegrass and fescues," and "quality evaluation of mature low maintenance turf species." Details the general materials and methods used in the studies, stating that "different species and cultivars were seeded between August 17 and September 13, 2007...Pesticides will be applied only on an as needed basis for curative purposes." Reports that "significant differences for quality among species and cultivars or entries are evident in these studies." Concludes that "these studies suggest that acceptable turf cover and quality can be obtained under low-input maintenance, provided that adapted species and cultivars are selected for these conditions."
