Tests of commercially-available turfgrass cultivars and experimental selections are conducted annually at Penn State to provide turfgrass managers, seed industry representatives, county agents, and other interested persons with information about turfgrass characteristics and performance. This page contains reports on the performance of Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescues, and bentgrass cultivars and experimental selections. Entries in these tests were supplied by National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). Keep in mind that the results of these tests reflect cultivar performance for the management regime imposed at this site and environmental conditions in central Pennsylvania.
