| Abstract/Contents: | "The fine fescue management study includes the following cultivars: Pennlawn Red Fescue, Scaldis Hard Fescue, Ruby Red Fescue, Atlanta Chewings Fescue, K5-29 Red Fescue, Dawson Red Fescue, Reliant Hard Fescue, Ensylva Red Fescue, Highlight Chewings Fescue, and Jamestown Chewings Fescue. Each cultivar was maintained in full sun at two mowing heights: 1 and 2 in. Each plot was divided into two fertilizer treatments: 1 and 3 lb N/1000 ft2 applied as IBDU. The area was irrigated as needed. The study was established on September 8, 1979, and was the oldest study in the turf research area before it was terminated in August 1990. The quality ratings in Table 4 are the means of monthly ratings taken on replicated plots from May to August. 'Reliant' and 'Scaldis' hard fescue had the best overall quality in 1990 and through all of the years the study was conducted. These cultivars performed satisfactorily even under the extreme conditions of a 1 in mowing height and 1 lb N/1000 ft2/year. They have performed consistently well for the 12 years the trial has been in place. They have also shown excellent disease tolerance, whereas many of the other grasses have been observed to be quite susceptible to Dollar Spot. 'Jamestown' and 'Atlanta Chewings' fescue also performed well in 1990. 'Highlight' chewings fescue performed very poorly. Generally, the creeping red fescues did not perform well during the 12 years of the study." |
