  4. Underground repair Kentucky bluegrass, creeping red fescue, bermudagrass Present on certain tall fescues, observed on plants Wear, divot repair Soil compaction, season influence repair Rhizome Reproduction Use this slide if you are going to use a picture. To make a presentation interesting, you should have images on at least 50% of the slides. Without visuals, you will quickly put people to sleep. You might anyway, but you have a better chance of keeping their attention if you use some nice visuals. Pictures can make the presentation look more professional.

  7. Turf-type Tall Fescue • Strengths • Excellent wear tolerance once established • Drought tolerance useful many sites • Can be mown at 1/2 inch • Shade tolerant • Tolerates broad range of soils • Speed of establishment • New data Ohio State - new varieties can maintain quality with wear after 15 weeks, spring establishment

  8. Regiment II Turf-type Tall Fescue • High percentage of rhizomes • Rapid rhizome expression • Very dark green color • Fine texture • Dwarf growing habit • Superior density, weed resistant • Quick establishment • Rapid recovery • Early Spring green-up

  9. Blackwatch Turf-type Tall Fescue • Very dark green color • Fine texture • High turf quality - recommended in many states • Open, dwarf growing habit • Reduced brown patch incidence • Superior density, weed resistant • Quick establishment • Rapid recovery • Early Spring green-up

  10. Guardian 21 Turf-type Tall Fescue • Very dark green color • Fine texture • High turf quality • Consistent high performance under all management levels • High performance in all climate zones • Semi-dwarf growth habit • High wear resistance • Reduced brown patch incidence • Superior density, weed resistant

  11. Turf-type Tall Fescue • Weaknesses • Bunch-type growth • Speed of repair slow • Rhizomes in new varieties may help • Need more winter-active growth • Brown patch susceptibility - in enclosed shade can severely damage • Old cultivars lacked density and texture, new cultivars finer textured, darker green, higher density

  12. Turf-type Tall Fescue • How to use • Best results when blended with Kentucky bluegrass - 85 to 90% Tall fescue • Blending with Texas x Kentucky hybrids may be useful in stress sites • Brown patch reduced in blends • Establish in spring or late summer • Provide protection against Pythium and seedling brown patch

  13. Turf-type Tall Fescue Newest turf-type tall fescues compared to older cultivars

  14. 4 inch wide divot cut May 4 , 6 weeks growth Tall fescue rhizome 3 inches from mother plant Not as many as in bluegrass More rhizomes observed in fall than spring Tall Fescue Turf Rhizome
