Abstract/Contents:"Twenty well-watered Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars were evaluated for evapotranspiration (ET) under controlled environment, using the water-balance method. ET ranged from a low of 3.86 mm-day-1 for 'Enoble' to a high of 6.43 mm-day-1 for 'Merion', 'Birka', and 'Sydsport'. cultivars differed in shoot density, verdure, root density, stomatal density, and stomatal index. Only verdure was significantly correlated (r= 0.60) to ET for the 20 cultivars. Five cultivars were selected using cluster analysis to represent categories of high, medium, and low ET rates. ET for these cultivars increased from 1.1- to 1.7-fold when temperature was increased from 25° to 35° C, depending on cultivar. ET at 35° was positively correlated to vertical elongation rate (r=0.96), and negatively correlated to shoot density (r= -0.87) and verdure (r= -0.83) under well-watered conditions."
