Abstract/Contents:"The selection of a turfgrass species for use in an athletic facility is based upon tolerance of traffic, cold temperature stress, and irrigation requirements. Due to its tolerance of drought and wear stresses, tall fescue makes an excellent turf for low maintenance athletic fields in southern Iowa. In a comparison study, tall fescue was found to have a higher wear tolerance than Kentucky bluegrass (KBG) and perennial ryegrass (PR), but its tolerance of compaction was inferior to both Kentucky bluegrass and perennial rye. This study used improved turf-type cultivars of both KBG and PR while using K 31 tall fescue, a grass which is more like a forage type fescue."
