Abstract/Contents:Perennial ryegrass is an important long term, good performing turfgrass when mixed with Kentucky bluegrass sand fine fescues. Tests were established in 1983, 1986, and 1987 (all in September) at the Soils and Crops Research Station in Adelphia, New Jersey (1983) and at the Turfgrass Research Center in North Brunswick, New Jersey (1986, 87) with both having well drained soils and Adelphia's being somewhat sandier. Plots were 3 ft x 5 ft with seedling rates of 25 grams of seed per plot and were irrigated and fertilized. Mowing was done with a reel or rotary mower, leaving clippings on the field with fall applications of 2,4-D and dicamba for broadleaf control and applications of DCPA or benefin in the spring for pre-emergent crabgrass control. Soil pH was kept between 6.0 - 6.5. Tables report the total amount of nitrogen applied and the mowing height at Adelphia and North Brunswick; the performance of 26, 76, and 18 cultivars and selections at Adelphia and the performance of 78, 24, and 16 cultivars and selections at North Brunswick and were ranked on turf quality that was averaged over all the years. Higher ranking consisted of darker than average color, high tiller density, uniform appearance, fine leaf texture, good mowing quality, and better than average disease and insect resistance.
