Abstract/Contents:"Jacklin Seed Company has been evaluating test trials of low maintenance grasses in the Pacific Northwest at their research facility in Post Falls since 1982." Data from the two trials are presented in tables at the end of the article. "Low maintenance, cool season turfs suitable for the Northwest are Reubens Canada bluegrass, Canbar Canby bluegrass, Sherman big bluegrass, Fairway of crested wheatgrass, Streaker redtop, Climax timothy, alpine bluegrass, upland bluegrass, Prairie junegrass (Koeleria), Poa nemoralis, Manchar, Bromar, and Regar bromegrasses. Low maintenance, warm-season turfgrasses include blue grama, little bluestem, side-oats grama, weeping lovegrass, alkaligrass, buffalograss, and seeded zoysiagrass. Taller growing species such as the bromegrasses or timothies would be best used under 'Vista-type' turfgrass situations, where the stand receives little traffic or maintenance. Other alternatives for Vista-type turf would include the flowers and legumes. Numerous wildflower mixtures are on the market at the present time."
