| Abstract/Contents: | "Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is a common turf and pasture grass in much of the United States. In an effort both uses, plots in a good stand of established tall fescue were mowed at 1.3, 2.5, 4, and 5 cm, when they reached a height 50% greater than the mowed height. The influence of cutting height on seasonal and total yield, appearance, density, and ground cover was determined. One-half of each plot was overseeded with fescue immediately prior to the test and also in the fall of the first year. In the first year, total yield was higher when mowed at the two lower cutting heights. There was no difference in yields the second year and overseeding had little effect on yield. Both cover and plant density were usually greater at the two intermediate cutting heights and in the overseeded plots when compared with non-overseeded plots. At the end of 4 years there was no difference in turf cover due to mowing height. This research indicates that with adequate fertilizer tall fescue can do well when maintained at low heights." |
