Abstract/Contents:Discusses the evolution of Kentucky bluegrass cultivars in regards to disease resistance, specifically melting out and stripe smut. Notes that Merion Kentucky bluegrass was utilized heavily during the 1960s due to its resistance to melting out; however, the appearance of stripe smut during the 1970s "tolled the eventual demise of Merion Kentucky bluegrass as a commercial cultivar."
