. We selected four commonly used cool-season turfgrasses: ‘Moonlight SLT’ kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.), ‘Beacon’ hard fescue ( Festuca brevipila Tracy), ‘Grande II’ tall fescue [ Schedonorus arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.], and ‘Apple GL
photosynthetic function and visual quality in cool-season turfgrass species. Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) is one of the most important cool-season turfgrass species in temperate climates and widely used for home lawns, golf courses, urban landscapes
requires sequential applications and is most effective in perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) and tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) where it can be applied at higher rates than in kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) or creeping bentgrass
been investigating the potential for alternative cool-season species in southern environments. Kentucky bluegrasses ( Poa pratensis L.) are genetically and morphologically diverse. Compact america, compact midnight, and mid-atlantic types display
( Poa pratensis L.) had a 35% N uptake efficiency when 39 kg·ha −1 N as urea was applied on 23 Nov. after shoot growth ceased for the year. At the same research location, Frank et al. (2006) determined only 18% of 25 kg·ha −1 N applied as urea was
temperatures and evaporation are highest. Among cool-season grasses, Poa pratensis is the most commonly used in the United States for residential and commercial lawns, parks, and golf courses ( Christians, 2004 ; Lyman et al., 2007 ; Turgeon, 2005 ). One
bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L. × Poa arachnifera Torr.) was created by crossing kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) and texas bluegrass ( Poa arachnifera Torr.) ( Read et al., 1999 ). This cross results in a grass that has the agronomic qualities of
