| Abstract/Contents: | "Cool season turfgrass species established to athletic fields and other turf areas are often subjected to intense traffic. In many cases, the quality of these turfgrass stands deteriorates significantly due to wear and compaction resulting from traffic. The objective of this research was to evaluate the traffic tolerance of Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and perennial ryegrass cultivars and selections and determine individual cultivars and selections within each species that demonstrated improved tolerance to traffic. Turfgrass entries comprising the 2000 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) Kentucky bluegrass test and 2001 NTEP tall fescue test were evaluated. Varieties and selections as part of a 1999 Rutgers University perennial ryegrass test were also evaluated for traffic tolerance. Turfgrass wear was created using a Toro Groundsmaster unit fixed with a modified Sweepster equipped with rubber paddles. Wear was applied by operating the machine over approximately one-half of each plot two or more times per application. Soil compaction was created by utilizing a 1350 kg Wacker roller. Similar to wear applications, compaction was applied by passing over one-half of each plot two or more times per application. As a measure of traffic tolerance, turfgrass quality was visually assessed on a scale of 1-9 (9=highest quality) monthly during the growing season. The following Kentucky bluegrass entries showed the highest quality ratings when subjected to traffic in 2002: Princeton 105 (7.3), Tsunami (6.9), Midnight II (6.7), Award (6.7), Avalanche (6.7), Nu Density (6.5), Awesome (6.3), Total Eclipse (6.2), Barrister (6.2), Ginney (6.2), J-1838 (6.2), Cabernet (6.1), Impact (6.1), Moon Shadow (6.1). In 2002, traffic tolerance was highest among 42 tall fescue varieties and selections when rated for turfgrass quality. Of these statistically equivalent entries, the following displayed turfgrass quality ratings of 6.0 or greater in 2002: Titan Ltd. (6.8), GO-FL3 (6.4), Elisa (6.4), Bingo (6.3), Jaguar 3 (6.3) DLSD (6.2), 01-ORU1 (6.2), 01-RUTOR2 (6.2), Blackwatch (6.1), Millennium (6.1), F-4 (6.1), Masterpiece (6.0), Forte (6.0). Sixty-two perennial ryegrass varieties and selections comprising a 1999 Rutgers University perennial ryegrass test showed that highest turfgrass quality under traffic. Of these top performers, the following commercially available varieties were given mean quality ratings greater than 6.0: Prowler (7.3), Stellar (6.8), Courage (6.8), Kokomo (6.7), Grand slam (6.6), Gator 3 (6.4), Pacesetter (6.3), SR 4220 (6.3), Premier II (6.2), Manhattan 4 (6.2), Divine (6.1), Gallery (6.1), Jet (6.1), Paradigm (6.0), Citation fore (6.0), Summerset (6.0)." |
