Abstract

This is the first full year of data from tall fescue growing in natural shade conditions. This is a National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) ancillary trial, and is being conducted at several research stations in the United States. It contains 132 seeded cultivars, including a number of new experimental cultivars. Iowa State University is home to both a traffic tolerance and shade setting of this trial.
