| Abstract/Contents: | "Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is a bunch-type turfgrass that can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions. A blend of 3 tall fescue cultivars (`Apache', `Bonanza', and `Olympic') was planted in September 1988 to determine the effects of mowing height and nitrogen fertility regimes on turf quality and weed encroachment in the Midwestern U.S.A. Plots were maintained at four nitrogen fertility levels (0, 98, 195, and 293 kg N ha-1 yr-1) and three mowing heights (2.5, 5.1, and 7.6 cm). Quality was evaluated 31 times during the 1989 through 1994 growing seasons, and percent crabgrass and broadleaf weed cover were each evaluated in 1993 and 1994. Tall fescue plots maintained at 5.1 and 7.6 cm usually produced higher quality than plots cut at 2.5 cm, while, in summer and autumn, mowing at 7.6 cm produced significantly higher quality than 5.1 cm. Tall fescue plots maintained at 2.5 cm had significantly more crabgrass cover than plots maintained at 5.1 and 7.6 cm. All fertility rates usually produced tall fescue plots of significantly higher quality than the unfertilized tall fescue plots. Fertility rates of 98 kg N ha-1 yr-1 usually produced tall fescue of unacceptable quality for more than one month following a fertilizer application. 293 kg N ha-1 yr-1 usually produced significantly higher turf quality during July and October than 195 kg N ha-1 yr-1. Plots receiving 98, 195, and 293 kg N ha-1 yr-1 had significantly less broadleaf weed cover than the unfertilized plots." |
