Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "evaluate new cultivars of overseeding grasses (i.e., perennial ryegrass, intermediate ryegrass, Poa trivialis), as well as blends and mixtures, on bermduagrass fairways in the southern and western United States to provide performance data for end users." States that "in general, perennial ryegrass entries provided the highest quality turf averaged over the entire season," and that "Poa trivialis entries and perennial ryegrass/P. trivialis mixtures were slower to establish and [were] lighter green in color." Also reports that "annual ryegrass and intermediate ryegrass entries transitioned faster than perennial ryegrass entries at some locations." This five-year study began in 1998. |

USGA Summary Points: | Interest is increasing for the evaluation of grasses on golf courses. Data from ten evaluation sites comparing named cultivars and commercially available blends and mixtures was compiled and published in hard copy and on the NTEP web site. In general, perennial ryegrass entries provided the highest quality turf averaged over the entire season. Poa trivialis entries and perennial ryegrass/P. trivialis mixtures were slower to establish and lighter green in color. At most sites, one-half to two-thirds of the entries performed statistically similar to the top entry. Annual ryegrass and intermediate ryegrass entries transitioned faster than perennial ryegrass entries at some locations. Speed of transition was dependent on local weather. |
