Tall Fescue

Developed in the Pacific Northwest, Airlie is an improved turf type-tall fescue with medium texture and dark color. In the 1997-2000 National Turf Evaluation Trials conducted at multiple locations throughout the U.S., Airlie performed extremely well. It displayed strong Brown Patch tolerance, excellent leaf spot resistance and good pythium blight ratings. Airlie has also shown good wear tolerance and good spring green up.

With excellent ratings in the transition zone as well as both cool-humid areas and arid-humid areas, Airlie is well suited for a wide range of climates and uses such as parks, roadsides, athletic fields and home lowns were turf-type tall fescue is desired. It exhibits good drought tolerance and shortened growth during the winter months and requires less maintenance than other cool season grass species to maintain color and sward density.

Airlie can be seeded as a straight variety or blended with other turf-type tall fescue varieties of similar color and leaf characteristics. Airlie should be seeded at normal turf-type tall fescue seeding rates of 6-10 lbs per 1000 sq. ft. when broadcast. The seed should be worked into the top ¼ inch of soil and kept moist throughout germination and establishment.

Airlie performs best when fertilized with a heavy split fall application of nitrogen and a lighter application in the spring. Avoid seeding during the hot summer months as this can promote disease pressure. Early mowing should be at 1.5 to 2.0 inches and can be adjusted to the user’s preference after establishment.
