Abstract

A cultivar of interest named ‘MNHD' is an advanced population of hard fescue and an outcrossing species bred for low input turf lawns. Efforts to shade-select this cultivar resulted in ‘MNSD’ with the “SD” standing for shade. This field study results will seek to advance the shade-selected MNSD establishment performance under field conditions, focusing on growth, health, and vigor overtime. The results from this study will work to provide hard fescue cultivars that meet quality and performance standards to further develop the shade tolerant cool-season turfgrass market.
