| Abstract/Contents: | Results showed the performance of fine fescue cultivars and selections during September at Adelphia, New Jersey (seeded in 1987). Both plots were 3 ft by 5 ft seeded with 25 grams of seed per plot. The Adelphia plot maintained a mowing height of 1.5'' along with the front half of each plot receiving 3.0 lb N/1000 ft2 and the back receiving 2.0 lb N/1000 ft2. The North Brunswick plot received 3.6 lb N/1000 ft2 in 198 with a maintained mowing height of 1.5 inches. Both rest were sprayed with 1.0 lb/A(ai) 2,4-D and 0.25 lb/A(ai) dicamba in October to control broadleaf weeds and Dacthal (DCPA) W75 was applied at 12 lb ai/A in early May. A 1-9 visual scale with nine being the highest rating was used; the same scale was used to evaluate disease, insect drainage, and other stress problems. The 1984 sketch showed Longfellow, the hard fescues, and Pureseed 4 FL Chewings fescue to have a higher a overall turf quality averages for 1985-88. Tables summarize ratings of several species of fine fescues with K87E hard fescues having the best turf quality average; 2) evaluation of strong creeping red fescues with Shademaster, Flyer, and Vista leading the way; 3) results of hard fescue cultivars and selections; and 4) cultivars and selections of Chewings fescue with endo 3251 and Jamestown II having the highest quality averages. |
