The N.T.E.P. fine fescue test was established in Sept. 1994 in the Turfgrass Experimental Plot Area of the Littlefield Ornamental Trial Garden on the Univ. of Maine campus. The test consisted of 59 cultivars seeded in a randomized complete-block design with three replications. Following soil preparation, the Marlowe fine sandy soil was amended with lime and starter fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. Seeding was facilitated using a 5 × 3-ft plywood box to eliminate wind drift, and seed was raked in by hand. The study was conducted in a shade-free location with a maintenance fertility program of N at 0.6 lb/1000 ft 2  per month of growing season using a slow-release commercial 20-5-15 fertilizer. Supplemental moisture was supplied as needed using an in-ground irrigation system. Mowing was initiated in May 1995 at a height of 2.5 inches and reduced to maintenance height of 2 inches for the duration of the 3-year test. Visual turf quality, turf density, color, weediness, and disease ratings were made monthly during each growing season and were statistically analyzed. Cultivars Darwin, NJ F-93, Columbra, Florentine, and the Banner II and III series were ranked as the best performers in the early- and late-season evaluations. BARFRR4ZBD, Jasper, Defiant, Silverlawn, Treazure, SR 5100, and Spartan were cultivars that performed well in early summer; however, during August, all cultivars showed depressed quality scores and no differences were observed. With the onset of true autumn conditions in October, the number of excellent performing cultivars approximated the same number observed in the spring. These results confirm that a number of fineleaf fescue cultivars are now available whose performance begins to rival Kentucky bluegrass under Maine conditions and will certainly provide better long-term turf than will perennial ryegrass.
