| Abstract/Contents: | "This study examined the performance of Agrostis spp. under close mowing. The experiment contained four species of bentgrass: A. castellana Boiss and Reuter (browntop bent), A. tenuis Sibith. (browntop bent), A. canina L. spp. canina (velvet bent), and A. stolonifera L. (creeping bent). It also contained 42 different cultivars; 21 A. tenuis, 18 A. stolonifera, 2 A. canina and 1 A. castellana. Comparison of a A. tenuis and A. stolonifera showed that there was marked and significant variation in visual appeal and shoot density among cultivars of these grasses. Also, the range in variation found for these two grasses largely overlapped. One of the two cultivars of A. canina tested was found to be comparable with the better cultivars of both A. tenuis and A. stolonifera. The other was fairly average in comparison. The cultivar A. castellana (`Highland') tended to fall at the bottom of the range found for A. tenuis and A. stolonifera. A number of grasses (five) in the current trials were first tested in 1969. The performance of some of thse cultivars was comparable with a number of other grasses available today. It is suggested that advances in bentgrass performance through breeding have been relatively slow. A comparision of visual assessments made by experienced USA and UK observers is also made. A highly significant and positive associaiton was found between scores made by both observers. Further to this, significant associations between visual scores and shoot density were found for both observers." |
