| Abstract/Contents: | "The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP), the United States Golf Association Green Section (USGA), and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) agreed in 1997 to jointly fund and cooperate in an "on-site" testing program. Instead of comparing newly released cultivars at university field stations, bentgrasses and bermudagrasses intended for putting green use were evaluated on participating golf courses. Eighteen creeping bentgrass cultivars were seeded at eight sites in fall, 1997, or spring, 1998. Seven bermudagrass cultivars were established at three sites in summer, 1998. Five of the sites established both bentgrass and bermudagrass on-site trials. After four years of data collection, `Penn A-4' has been the oustanding entry in this trial. Turfgrass quality ratings averaged over the four years and thirteen sites show `Penn A-4' alone in the top statistical grouping, followed by `Penn A-1' and `Penn G-1'. Turfgrass quality ratings from the four years and eight sites show `Mini-Verde' and `TifEagle' at the top with `Champion' slightly below statistically equal to `TifEagle', but statistically below `Mini-Verde'. `MS-Supreme' was statistically equal to `Champion', but did not perform statistically as well as `Mini-Verde' or `TifEagle' in data averaged over all locations." |
