Abstract/Contents:"Chewings fescue (Festuca rubra ssp. commutata) has shown potential for natural suppression of crabgrass (Digitaria spp.). Previous work has identified differences among cultivars and species of fine fescues (Festuca ssp) for the amount of crabgrass suppressed. Other work has shown that nutrient status may play an important role in regulating suppression in Chewings fescues. More research is needed to better understand factors controlling variability of crabgrass suppression within Chewings fescue, and how management practices such as mowing and fertilization affect suppression in the field. Therefore the objectives of this experiment were to 1) examine whether weed suppression varies by genotype within an accession or cultivar, and to 2) determine the effect of mowing frequency and nitrogen fertility on allelopathic potential of 'Radar' Chewings fescue and 'Beacon' hard fescue. For objective 1, 12 genotypes each for a pre-determined low, medium, and highly suppressive Chewings fescue accessions or cultivar were examined for their variability in crabgrass suppression by measuring a reduction in adjacently grown crabgrass biomass within pots in a greenhouse experiment. For objective 2, a split-strip plot design was used in the field to examine the effect of two mowing frequencies (once per week or 3 days per week) stripped across whole plots and two nitrogen fertility (no nitrogen or 46 kg N ha-1 yr-1) split across whole plots have on crabgrass suppression by 'Radar' Chewings fescue and 'Beacon' hard fescue. Preliminary results indicate that crabgrass suppression varies by genotype within an accession of Chewings fescue and that field management practices may have an impact on crabgrass growth in the field."
