Abstract/Contents:"Many cultivars of Poa pratensis L. have been developed since the release of of the first turf-type selection 'Merion' in 1947. The objective of this paper is to present some major classification groups of Poa pratensis based on data gathered from turf trials. Two evaluation trials were established in September 1990 on a Nixon loam and Freehold Sandy loam (both fine, mixed, mesic Typic Hapludult) and were maintained by at 3.8-cm cutting height through 1995. Both tests were rated for characterisitics including winter dormancy, winter colour, stripe smut (Ustilago striiformis) disease, leaf spot (Dreschslera poae) disease, and recovery from summer stress. Major classification groups, including Compact, Bellevue, Mid-Atlantic, BVMG, Common, Aggressive, and Other types, have been proposed based on data generated from these and other trials. Compact type cultivars generally possess good to excellent resistance to leaf spot disease. Bellevue type cultivars have excellent cool-season vigour. Mid-Atlantic type cultivars exhibit good summerr stress tolerance. The BVMG type cultivars have increased susceptibility to stripe smut disease. Common type cultivars were extensively damaged by leaf spot disease. Further development of this classification system is needed as more cultivars demonstrate distinct characteristics in research trials."
