| Abstract/Contents: | Evaluates the compatibility of three cultivars of tall fescue when singly mixed with three Kentucky bluegrass cultivars. "'Alta', 'Mustang', and 'Jaguar' tall fescues and 'Kenblue', 'Columbia' and 'A34' Kentucky bluegrass cultivars were chosen for this study. Each tall fescue cultivar was seeded alone and as a mixture with each Kentucky bluegrass cultivar. Each mixture consisted of 95% tall fescue and 5% Kentucky bluegrass on a seed weight basis." 'Alta' (a pasture-type cultivar) was least competitive and had the lowest density; 'Mustang' and 'Jaguar' had higher tiller densities. 'Kenblue' had comparatively low vigor, 'Columbia' had intermediate vigor, and 'A34' had high vigor and a very competitive growth habit. "Alta established alone, or mixed with a Kentucky bluegrass cultivar, gave inferior quality performance when compared to the monostands or polystands of the turf-type tall fescue cultivars. [T]he Kentucky bluegrass cultivars provided limited influence on turfgrass quality, especially as the swards matured ... In general, more thatch was found in monostands and polystands that contained Mustang and Jaguar tall fescue in comparison to those that contained Alta. There was little influence of the Kentucky bluegrass cultivars on thatch depth in mixes with either the turf-type cultivars or with Alta tall fescue." In summary, when mixes of Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue are used, one "can expect better quality and more uniform grass stands when turf-type tall fescues are used instead of pasture-type cultivars of tall fescue." |
