New Jersey Turfgrass ExpoDecember 5-7, 2006
Trump Taj MahalAtlantic City, New Jersey
The Rutgers Turfgrass Proceedings is publishedyearly by the Rutgers Center for Turfgrass Science,Rutgers Cooperative Extension, and the New Jer-sey Agricultural Experiment Station, School of Envi-ronmental and Biological Sciences, Rutgers, TheState University of New Jersey in cooperation withthe New Jersey Turfgrass Association. The purposeof this document is to provide a forum for the dis-semination of information and the exchange of ideasand knowledge. The proceedings provide turfgrassmanagers, research scientists, extension specialists,and industry personnel with opportunities to commu-nicate with co-workers. Through this forum, theseprofessionals also reach a more general audience,which includes the public.
This publication includes lecture notes of paperspresented at the 2006 New Jersey Turfgrass Expo.Publication of these lectures provides a readily avail-
able source of information covering a wide range oftopics and includes technical and popular presenta-tions of importance to the turfgrass industry.
This proceedings also includes research papersthat contain original research findings and reviewsof selected subjects in turfgrass science. These pa-pers are presented primarily to facilitate the timelydissemination of original turfgrass research for useby the turfgrass industry.
Special thanks are given to those who have sub-mitted papers for this proceedings, to the New Jer-sey Turfgrass Association for financial assistance,and to Barbara Fitzgerald and Marlene Karasik foradministrative and secretarial support.

COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE COOL-SEASON TURFGRASS SPECIES ANDCULTIVAR RESOURCE LIST
Stacy A. Bonos1
1Assistant Professor in Turfgrass Breeding, New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, School of Environmental andBiological Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8520.
Turfgrass breeders have made dramatic im-provements in turfgrass cultivars in recent years. Im-provements include better overall turf quality, darkergreen color, and increased shoot density, wear toler-ance, and disease resistance. There are currently159 commercially available cultivars of tall fescue(Table 1), approximately 55 bentgrass cultivars (Table2), 115 cultivars of fine fescue (Table 3), 211 peren-nial ryegrass cultivars (Table 4), and 179 Kentuckybluegrass cultivars (Table 5) from numerous seedcompanies (Table 6). New cultivars of all of thesespecies are constantly being developed while oldercultivars gradually go out of production. All of thecurrent commercially available cultivars of tall fes-cue, bentgrass, fine fescue, perennial ryegrass, andKentucky bluegrass are listed in the accompanyingtables, along with the turfgrass seed company/com-panies that provide them. The contact informationfor the turfgrass seed companies and their websitesare included in Table 6.
Additional information about cool-season turf-grass cultivar performance in New Jersey and otherlocations can be found at the following sources:Rutgers Cooperative Extension Fact Sheets 544,545, 546, 688, 738, 989, and 990 (visit the New Jer-sey Agricultural Experiment Station Website at http://njaes.rutgers.edu), Rutgers Turfgrass Proceedings(which are available online at http://www.turf.rutgers.edu), and the National TurfgrassEvaluation Program (also available online at http://www.ntep.org). Turf managers are encouraged toselect among the better performing cultivars by uti-lizing the recommended references. Selecting highquality cultivars of cool-season turfgrasses will opti-mize performance and maximize success of the turf-grass stand.
