Abstract/Contents:Presents the 2000 results of a study "to determine the effect on turf quality by mixing legume species with tall fescue and sheep fescue." Results include "there were statistical differences in visual quality on some dates but from a practical standpoint, all treatments were better than acceptable. There are texture differences when mixing sheep fescue and tall fescue, and when adding the legumes to the grasses. Birdsfoot trefoil persisted best of the three legumes. Birdsfoot trefoil adds color from its yellow blossoms three or four months of the year. If legumes are added to the mixture herbicides cannot be used with out [without] damaging the legumes. All treatments had low weed populations."
