| Abstract/Contents: | "Since many improved Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars are available for turf purposes, it is important to develop methods of distinguishing among cultivars to insure correctness of labeling of seed in this respect. To detect differences in the seedling stage plants were grown in sand and were supplied either with a complete nutrient solution or with solutions lacking various essential elements. Cultivars differed greatly when plants were grown without calcium. Of 23 cultivars tested, most seedlings of five cultivars were green and healthy after 4 weeks without Ca. Most plants of nine cultivars were very chlorotic, and plants of the other nine were intermediate or were mixtures of healthy and chlorotic plants. Leaf blade tips of many Ca-deficient plants became red, and cultivars differed in percentage of plants showing this characteristic. Previous research has shown cultivars to differ in development of anthocyanin in lower leaf sheaths. This pigment was increased by moderate Ca deficiency. Our results indicate that growing seedlings without Ca is a useful technique in cultivar identification." |
