| Abstract/Contents: | "Changes in relative visual merit with time were investigated for different bentgrass species and cultivars (21 Agrostis tenuis Sibth., 18 A. stolonifera L., 2 A canina L. and 1 A. castellana Boiss and Reuter). To do this, standard scores were calculated for monthly assessments of visual appeal made during 2000 on a 1998-sown bentgrass close mowing trial. Graphs showing changes in standard score with time are presented for each grass in trial. These show that relative visual merit varied among grasses. They also show that changes in visual appeal follow distinct seasonal patterns for individual grasses, different species and gruops within species. As a group, relative visual merit was at its seasonal lowest in the winter and its highest in the spring for cultivars of A. stolonifera. For the two cultivars of A. canina, merit peaked in the summer. This was despite a large overall difference in relative merit between these two grasses. Cultivars of A. tenuis could largely be partitioned into two groups, cultivars where relative merit peaked in the summer and cultivars were it peaked in the winter. IT is suggested that different seasonal patterns of performance may be related to the origin of the grasses. It is also noted that all five grasses of known New Zealand origin fell within the same group (relative merit peaked in the winter). These reults are discussed in relation to long-held views regarding the seasonal performance of different bentgrass species." |
