| Abstract/Contents: | "The shade adaptation study was established in the fall of 1987 to evaluate the performance of 35 species and cultivars of grasses. The species include creeping red fescue (C.R.F.), hard fescue (H.F.), tall fescue (T.F.), Kentucky bluegrass (K.B.), and rough bluegrass (Poa trivialis). The area is located under the canopies of a mature stand of Siberian elm trees (Ulmus pumila) at the Iowa State University Horticulture Research Station. The grasses were mowed at a 2-in height and received 2 lb N/1000 ft2/year. No weed control has been required on the area. The area was irrigated during extended droughts. Monthly quality data was collected from May through September. Several of the hard fescues (H.F.) and 'Estica' creeping red fescue (C.R.F.) were the best performers in 1990 (Table 7). These were followed by the tall fescues, many of which maintained very good quality all season long. None of the Kentucky bluegrasses maintained an acceptable quality. In general, the Kentucky bluegrasses were the poorest quality grasses in this study." |
