Roadside Vegetation Implementation of Fine Fescue Grasses

摘要

Attractive, well-maintained roadsides are an integral part of the utility and beauty of the complete highway system. Labor intensive mowing is required to maintain acceptable roadsides. The objective of a prior roadside vegetation study was the development of a grass mixture which required less mowing, provided a better appearance, and was better adapted to New Jersey roadside environments. The initial research, which was conducted by Rutgers University, developed a grass mixture of Fortress spreading fescue, Banner Chewings fescue, and Kenblue Kentucky bluegrass in equal parts. The mixture was designated New Jersey Type A-2.
