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 included creeping red fescue (C.R.F.), hard fescue (H.F.), tall fescue (T.F.), Kentucky bluegrass (K.B.), and rough bluegrass (Poa trivialis). Waldorf Chewings fescue and Arid Tall Fescue were the two highest rated grasses in 1992. In dry seasons, tall fescue is one of the better choices for shaded conditions in Iowa. Sabre (Poa trivialis) performed very poorly in the earlier, drier years part of the season, but in the wet conditions of late 1992 it performed much better. None of the Kentucky bluegrass maintained satisfactory quality through the entire season." Results are presented in a table for cultivars and species.
