Abstract:Since 1993, our research has focused on fine rescue management stratagies and on evaluation of turfgrass cultivars. This year, two studies were added, a barren acid-producing slope was revegetated and new tall and fine fescue trials were installed. The fine fescue trials and management studies proved valuable in fight of of this year's tall fescue shortage. The tall rescue shortage in the U.S. has driven the cost of tall fescue beyond that of the fine fescues. Contractors have been forced to shift from the traditional use of tall fescue to the less familiar fine fescue cultivars. Fortunately, the information generated from our recent fine fescue trial and management study provided VDOT personnel with the technical information which validated the use of fine rescue on roadsides. Ot• research studies will continue to examine the use of free fescues and to address management concerns such as revegetating barren acid-producing slopes.
