Species for Low‐Input Sustainable Turf in the U.S. Upper Midwest

Abstract: Low‐input sustainable turf (LIST) management represents a resource‐efficient option in maintaining uniform, persistent turf. What species are best suited to such management needs to be established. To this end, 12 hardy species were evaluated for 3 yr in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin: crested wheatgrass [Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex Link) Schult. ‘Fairway’, ‘Ephraim’, and ‘Ruff’], streambank wheatgrass [Agropyron riparium Scribn. & Smith ‘Sodar’; syn. Elymus lanceolatus (S… Show more

“…Species/cultivars selected for low‐maintenance turfgrass should have the capability to withstand environmental stresses such as extreme temperature, low moisture availability, low fertility levels and weed competition due to limited pesticide use (Diesburg et al . ). The greater competitive ability of tall fescue against weed invasion makes it a suitable candidate for low‐maintenance turfgrass species where inputs such as pesticide and water application are often reduced (Diesburg et al .…”

“…Diesburg et al (6) evaluated twelve grass species as low‐input turf at seven sites in the NCR for three years. Overall, the best performing species, as determined by plot uniformity and cover, were tall fescue, colonial bentgrass, redtop bentgrass ( Agrostis gigantea Roth), and sheep fescue.…”

“…According to Diesburg et al [41], visual merit is not the most important parameter in low-input grass airstrips. The functionality of a grass runway is determined by sward resistance, even distribution on the surface, the ability to stabilize the soil, and limit soil erosion (dusting) and weed growth.…”
