Kentucky Bluegrass Blend Ecology

Seed size and germination differed between varieties and seedlots within varieties. Blending seed using seed weight resulted in an actual composition similar to the intended composition. Including a susceptible variety in a blend resulted in more severe rust and powdery mildew than when not included. Likewise, including resistant varieties as a large percentage of a blend reduced rust and powdery mildew severity.
