| Abstract/Contents: | "Twenty-four mixtures of four turfgrass species were seeded in 1 m x 12 m plots in 1988. Plots had low maintenance cultural conditions similar to those used for athletic fields but were not subjected to wear. In 1992, the plots were rated for frequency of occurrence of species by examining sampled plants (~1000 per mixture) under a dissecting microscope. When averaged across all plots, relative frequency of both Perennial Ryegrass and Kentucky Bluegrass was higher in 1992 (stem count) than in the seed mixture (seed weight) in 1988, while fine fescue was present at the same frequency, and tall fescue was at a lower frequency than in the seed mixture. Perennial Ryegrass was the most competitive among the four species and increased in relative frequency in nearly all plots in which it was seeded. For tall fescue, the higher the initial seeding rate, the greater the decrease in frequency four years later. In graphs showing changes in relative frequency (1992 minus 1988) against frequency by weight or number in the seed mixture (1988), there were equilibrium points toward which Kentucky Bluegrass or fine fescue populations tended: frequencies of 35 to 42% for Kentucky Bluegrass and 24 to 25% for fine fescue." |
