Abstract/Contents: | This test was part of USGA turfgrass breeding program comparing 5 Buchloe dactyloides varieties to an established variety 'Texoka'. This trial was established in August 1988 and was affected by late planting date. Only variety 84-315 survived the first winter kill. All 6 field plots were reestablished the last week of May 1990. These plugs became well established during the growing season and all reached 100% cover by dormancy in September 1990. "The first quality ratings were taken in 1991 and the data included in the report from the second full season of data collection (Table 8). Visual quality was based on a scale of 9 to 1" 9 = best quality, 6 = acceptable quality, and 1 = poorest quality. The 84-315 variety received the highest rating during the 1992 season. This was due in part to its early spring greenup and its high density and uniformity. The 84-609, 84-304, and 84-409 varieties do not appear to be well adapted to Iowa conditions. Data collection will continue for several more seasons on these grasses. Results are presented within a table. |
