| Abstract/Contents: | "The Kentucky bluegrass plots in this trial were established in 1979 and the study was maintained at lawn height for nine seasons. In the fall of 1988, the mowing height was slowly reduced to 1 inch to test the cultivars under conditions similar to a Kentucky bluegrass fairway. The study was irrigated as needed and fertilized at a rate of 4 lb N/1000 ft2/yr. 'Touchdown' performed best in 1990 (Table 9). The old standby of the 1970's, 'Merion', also performed surprisingly well. ('Merion' is no longer available.) 'Midnight' did very well, but it should be noted that this cultivar does not stand up well in dry years (see 1990 report) and develops severe powdery mildew if there is any shade in the area (the test area is in full sun). 'Majestic' and 'Adelphi' were the lowest rated cultivars. They are generally recognized as good performers at lower mowing heights. The wet season may have resulted in deterioration of quality for these cultivars." |
