| Abstract/Contents: | "CRENSHAW and CATO were released in April 1993. Considerable success has been realized in the performance and utility of both grasses especially throughout the southern United States. CATO was been licensed to Pickseed West, Tangent, Oregon and was commercially available in quantity in the fall 1994. CRENSHAW has been licensed to Lofts Seed, Inc. Bought Brook, N.J. and was commercially available with limited supplies in 1993. CRENSHAW's performance has steadily increased its demand in 1994 and regardless of increased production, seed was in heavy demand far exceeding available supply. Syn1-88 is a reselection from Seaside and has been optioned to Pick Seed West for increased and will be commercially available in 1995. Syn1-88 is recognized for its low maintenance requirements and excellent salt tolerance and is being released as a utility bentgrass targeted to replace "Seaside" Creeping Bentgrass with quality similar to the standard "Penncross". A series of four synthetic creeping bentgrass populations were developed in 1992 and designated as the Syn92 - Series. These populations (varieties) were devised to incorporate stronger physiological and pathological traits to form biologically stronger stress tolerant grasses. Each population is represented by 4 to 10 parental lines which were further selected and combined based on floral initiation, leaf texture, color and field performance under close mowing and cultivation. Burlingham & Sons have an option agreement with Texas A&M for testing and evaluation rights on Syn92-1 and Syn92-5 creeping bentgrasses. Turf Merchant Inc, and Scotts have a joint option for Creeping Bentgrass Trials and are performing well. Sufficient seed stocks of Syn92-4 has permitted limited testing and evaluation at selected sites. Syn92-4 is available for more extensive testing and evaluation. Vegetative selections were identified in the production fields in Oregon from among the progeny of the advanced lines and will be included in test to evaluate total plant performance at TAES-Dallas including vegetative growth characters, turf quality, disease resistance, insect resistance, traffic and salinity tolerance, heat tolerance and root growth characters." |
