| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted at Kansas State University that "indicates that water requirements may differ significantly among cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) (KBG), depending upon desired turfgrass quality." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "data were collected for 105 days in 2007 (June 19-October 1) and 108 days in 2009 (June 22-October 7). Turfgrasses included 28 KBG cultivars and two hybrid bluegrasses." Results stated that "in addition to less frequent irrigation, cultivars with more days to wilt have a greater likelihood of receiving rainfall between irrigations; this could result in further water conservation and reduced irrigation costs." Concludes that "KBG in the Compact America and Mid-Atlantic phenotypic groups can be selected for their lower irrigation requirements without sacrificing visual quality, and types from those two groups may represent the best selections for breeding efforts to achieve such goals." |
