| Abstract/Contents: | Southern Illinois University is located in the transition zone of the United States, the research emphasis is on adaptation, management and low-temperature problems. "A dry summer placed considerable stress on cool-season turfgrasses. A number of Kentucky bluegrass cultivars showed very good tolerance to these conditions. Others showed considerable wilt. Many went almost completely dormant. The tall fescues showed very good drought and heat tolerance." A comparison of Kentucky bluegrass cultivars and blends indicate that the blends have better general appearance ratings than the individual component cultivars. "Several tall fescue cultivars were equal to or better in general appearance than Ky 31. Tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass mixtures in a ratio of 95:5 by seed weight were superior to a 70:30 mixture. Baron Kentucky bluegrass was the best of individual cultivars at 10 percent of a tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass mixture. Pennfine perennial ryegrass was a better component in tall fescue/Kentucky bluegrass/perennial ryegrass mixture than either Manhattan or Yorktown." The latter two were severely thinned by dollar spot. Kenwell tall fescue was somewhat better than Ky 31 in the mixtures described above "Late fall nitrogen fertilization of Kentucky bluegrass was tested for its effect on winter color and carbohydrate reserves." Nitrogen was applied once and soluble N (ammonium nitrate) at two rates on different dates. In most of the fall and early winter application, early spring greenup and good uniform growth until May were noted. Green color was better with the rate of 3 lbs of N per 1000 sq.ft. on nearly all dates. The carbohydrate reserves were considerably reduced from the 1.5-pound rate. Vegetative propagation by stolonizing was very successful with Meyer zoysiagrass and Tufcote bermudagrass. Simazine showed very good weed control on Meyer zoyiagrass but was somewhat phytotoxic. Tuperson and Kerb also gave good control of weeds and were not excessively phytotoxic. |
