| 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 was been licensed to Lofts Seed, Inc. Bound 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 increase and will be commercially available in 1995. Syn1-88 is recognized for its low maintenance requirements and excellent salt tolerance. Syn1-88 is being evaluated extensively in California and West Texas for salinity tolerance under field conditions. Burlingham & sons have negotiated an option agreement with Texas A&M for testing and evaluation rights on Syn92-1 and Syn92-5 creeping bentgrasses. Other grasses within the 1992 series are under negotiations at press time. Four elite bentgrasses breeding lines were increased in 1993, with three being entered into the 1993 NTEP bentgrass trials. These new varieties were developed specifically for improvements in heat tolerance- tissue and root, and/or deep root growth characters, disease resistance and turf quality persistence and competitive ability. 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." |
