| Abstract/Contents: | "In areas near guide rails along roadsides and median strips, low maintenance turf can not be grown because mowing is difficult and impractical. In these areas, herbicides are applied to reduce weed growth. A reduction or elimination of herbicide use in these areas is a goal shared by many. A cooperative research project has been established between the NY State Department of Transportation and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County and Cornell University. This four-year project has evaluated nearly 100 herbaceous perennial groundcover species for their ability to grow and establish rapidly after planting and thereby reduce and suppress weed growth. Recently, five demonstration plantings were established on Long Island and upstate New York to further evaluate the best performing plants'[.] Eleven species were chosen for evaluation on Long Island. Three sites with differing requirements were chosen. The plantings were established during June and July 2003. Periodic weeding and mulching were required at all three sites. The success of establishment of each site will be determined in the spring of 2004. The species evaluated on Long Island were: blue lyme grass (Leymus arenarius `Blue Dune'), creeping wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum `Suffolk Co.'), bearberry (Arctostaphylos uvaursi), fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus `Blutenmeer'), catmint (Nepata × faassenii `Walker's Low'), dwarf goldenrod (Solidago sphacelata `Golden Fleece'), lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis), big blue lilyturf (Liriope muscari `Royal Purple'), creeping raspberry (Rubus × `Betty Ashburner'), spring cinquefoil (Potentilla newmanniana `Nana') and variegated sedge (Carex morrowii `Ice Dance')." |
