| Abstract/Contents: | "The new turf-type perennial ryegrasses, Lolium perenne L., have become very popular for use on athletic fields in many parts of the United States. Manhattan was the first truly improved turf-type perennial ryegrass. This variety had much better mowing quality, density, color and persistence than the previously available common perennial ryegrass varieties. Since the development of Manhattan perennial ryegrass in 1976 many other varieties have been developed such as Pennfine, Birdie, Derby, Citation, Omega, Yorktown II, Diplomat and Regal. These varieties have been used extensively on athletic fields with good success." Compares the merits and uses of the new tall fescues and perennial ryegrasses for athletic fields. States that "the choice between tall fescues or perennial ryegrass for athletic fields should be determined by the budget and care that will be available. If adequate irrigation and fertility is available and a 1'' cutting height is desired, the perennial ryegrass alone or in mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass are a very good choice. If no irrigation is available and fertility applications are restricted, the new tall fescues alone or in mixtures with five or ten percent Kentucky bluegrass will do well if maintained at 2-3 inches." |
