| Abstract/Contents: | "A method that would rapidly determine the wear tolerance of turfgrass germplasm, while allowing simultaneous selection for other improved characteristics, would be beneficial for turfgrass breeders. Experimental turf trials of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perene L.), strong creeping red fescue, (Festuca rubra L. ssp rubra Gaud.), Chewings fescue, (F. rubra L. ssp. falax Thuill., formerly F. rubra L. ssp commutata Gaud.), hard fescue, (F. brevipila (Hack.) Krajina, formerly F. longifolia Thuill.), sheeps fescue, (F. ovina L.), slender creeping red fescue (F. rubra L. ssp. litoralis, formerly F. rubra L. ssp. trichophylla Gaud.) creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris L.), and colonial bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris Huds.) were evaluated for wear tolerance using two novel wear simulators. The wear simulator was either a 1.0m wide or 1.5m wide modified M24C5A Sweepster with rubber paddles mounted on either the original Sweepster frame or a Toro Groundsmaster Model 322-D, respectively. One half of each turfplot received two passes of the simulator per treatment. The number of treatments varied from two to four times a week depending on turfgrass species. Results indicated that Kentucky bluegrasses had variable wear torlerance between trials. Recently developed perennial ryegrass cultivars had better wear tolerance than older cultivars. Generally, Chewings fescue and hard fescue had better wear tolerance than strong creeping red fescue, sheeps fescue and slender creeping red fescue. Results indicated that colonial bentgrass had significantly greater wear tolerance than all but one of the creeping bentgrasses at the fairway cutting height. Wear tolerance of a cultivar was greatly affected by growing environment and management practices." |
