| Abstract/Contents: | The purpose of the trial is to identify regional adaptation of the 32 fine fescue cultivars and blends in a fall sun exposure. Cultivars are evaluated each month of the growing season (May to October) for turf quality. The trial is maintained at a 2 inch mowing height with 3 to 4 lb. N/1000 ft2 through the growing season and is irrigated when needed to prevent drought. Preemergence herbicide is applied once in spring and broadleaf herbicide is applied once in September to control weeds. Shadow, Banner, Checker, Scaldis, and Atlanta were the best cultivars under these conditions in 1987. Many of the cultivars have allowed the encroachment of Kentucky bluegrass since 1982. Tournament, Pennlawn, Duar, and some experimental cultivars had 20 to 80 percent Kentucky bluegrass in two to three of their replication. This may be due to a lack of competitiveness with Kentucky bluegrass. There also may have been some contamination of the experimental cultivars with bluegrass seed at the time of establishment. This trial will be eliminated in 1988. |
