| USGA Summary Points: | Primary challenges to public land managers in using fine fescues include turfgrass maintenance, funding, public awareness, and natural vegetation management. Consumers were willing to pay the highest premium for better ability to withstand foot traffic, followed by low mowing frequency, low fertilizer requirement, and low water usage. Heat stress is more detrimental than drought stress to fine fescues and there is great variation for heat tolerance. Hard and sheep fescue have superior snow mold resistance compared to other fine fescues and should be utilized in northern climates where snow mold is a concern. Summer patch may severely limit the use of hard fescue in some areas. |
