| Abstract/Contents: | "The cold hardiness of 6 cool season grass genera was compared in mid-winter under controlled freezing conditions. Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) tolerated the lowest temperatures, whereas perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) was the least hardy. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) readily loses cold hardiness when exposed to warm conditions and did not reharden when exposed to cool temperatures. Appreciable hardiness in Kentucky bluegrass was induced by simulating drought conditions." |
