Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Clipping yields of bluegrass species and cultivars increased with increasing soil moisture.
- Recommendation Clipping weights are not an accurate method of assessing trampling resistance of rhizomatous, prostrate Kentucky bluegrass cultivars unless percent yield change is evaluated.
- Observation Poa pratensis L cultivars Merion, Newport and Windsor appeared to have the greatest resistance to trampling.
- Observation Poa ampla and Poa trivialis L. had the least trample resistance.
- Intervention effect Clipping yields of seven F. rubra cultivars increased in most cases with increasing irrigation level.
- Observation Significant yield differences occurred among cultivars.
- Association Festuca rubra subsp. rubra cultivar Pennlawn had significantly higher trample resistance than all other cultivars.
- Association F. ovina KO-16 had better apparent trample resistance than the other cultivars.
- Association Festuca arundinacea cultivar Goars had superior trample resistance to the other cultivars studied.
- Intervention effect Clipping yields of tall fescue decreased with decreasing irrigation levels, with a single exception.
