| Abstract/Contents: | "Turf trials were established near Hubbard, Oregon in September, 1992, by seeding combinations of old and new generation cultivars of three fine fescue species; Shadow and Tiffany Chewing's fescue (Festuca rubra subsp. commutata), Shademaster and Shademaster II strong creeping fescue (F. rubra subsp. rubra) and Aurora and Discovery hard fescue (F. longifolia), with the improved turf type Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) cultivar Unique. Fifty percent of Kentucky bluegrass, by weight, was seeded in combination with fifty percent of each of the six fine fescue cultivars (using a seeding rate of 175 kg/ha). These mixtures were studied under two maintenance levels. High maintenance levels were maintained at 190 kg/ha nitrogen/year, mowed at 3 cm and irrigated to prevent wilt. The low maintenance trial was maintained at 48 kg/ha nitrogen/year, mowed at 6.25 cm and not irrigated. Turf quality ratings, disease ratings, visual percentage of Kentucky bluegrass ratings, tiller counts, fresh weights and dry weights of Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescue species were recorded. At high maintenance after four years, the top turf performance was attained by combinations of hard and strong creeping fescues, which were maintaining a nice balance with Kentucky bluegrass. Chewing's fescues dominated the Kentucky bluegrasses after four years. The new generation cultivars, with lower growth habits, produced higher turf quality than the older, taller cultivars. The same trend occurred in the low maintenance trial, with the hard fescue combinations giving the top turf performance and the least occurrence of red thread disease (Laetisaria fuciformis), which was very severe on the Chewing's and strong creeping fescue cultivars. |
