Abstract/Contents: | The drought of 1988 offered some unique opportunities to study grasses under these conditions. Cool season turfgrasses were studied at a Michigan location for their performance under low maintenance conditions--no irrigation and 1 lb N/m/yr. The trial included 48 cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea, fine fescues (Festuca rubra) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne). The grasses that fared best were the tall fescue, due to its deep root system, and perennial ryegrass. Fine fescues, thought to be low maintenance, drought hardy grasses, did not survive well. Kentucky bluegrasses also did not do very well. Results indicate that for low to medium maintenance turfs in Michigan, tall fescue should be considered, but caution is advised for use in wet or poorly drained soils. |
