| Abstract/Contents: | "Close mown grass species (Agrostis castellana Boiss. and Reuter, A. tenuis Sibth., Festuca arundinacea Schreb., F. rubra L., Phleum pratense L., Poa compressa L., P. nemoralis L., P. pratensis L., and Lolium perenne L.) were subjected to abrasive wear in the summer of 1993. Before and after wear was applied large differences in ground cover and visual appeal were found among species. Prior to wear being applied, the finer turfgrasses (A. castellana, A. tenuis and F. rubra) had the largest live ground cover and the highest visual appeal. After wear, cultivars of P. pratensis were markedly superior in terms of live ground cover remaining and visual appeal. Where tested, marked differences were also found among cultivars within different species. Before wear, live ground cover ranged from 87.3% to 49.3% for cultivars of P. pratensis, 82.3% to 46.7% for cultivars of F. arundinacea and 53.0% to 25.0% for cultivars of L. perenne. After wear, there was a four-fold difference between the best cultivar of P. pratensis, which retained 66.3% ground cover and the worst which retained 18.0% ground cover. At this time, the cultivars of F. arundinacea. varied from 43.0% to 15.0% and those of L. perenne from 32.0% to 19.3%. Importantly, this work demonstrates that finer turfgrass species which perform best under persistent close mowing may not perform better than other grasses when they are subjected to close mowing and wear. The work is discussed in relation to choosing grasses for users which include close mowing and abrasive wear." |
