Glade KBG?

Post by Wally » October 15th, 2019, 11:34 am

In the latest Schedule C trials at Rutgers, Glade came out tops.

This is a very old cultivar?

My bad. It is under the low maintenance, KBG, page 67.

Is low maintenance the same as scheduled C?

"Low maintenance turf trials are cut at a higher mowing height [apparently 3"] and receive less fertilizer with no additional water inputs outside of establishment."

Glade did well in the 2016 plantings-high maintenance trials. Placed at #22.

I don't know where you'd buy it. Have you asked around? I see NuGlade sometimes.

I was thinking that too. must be old? How did they get that to test?

I wonder why they bother testing? Anyway it did well.

How much difference is there between a 6.2 and a 5.7 rating if one were looking at the two?
