| Abstract/Contents: | "On the basis of second year seed production and performance under mowing trials, it was decided that the first introduction will be MN#184 instead of MN#42 as originally indicated.; On that basis 15 acres was seed to MN#184 in Oregon in October for production of "breeder's" seed in 1996. An additional planting of 6 acres is planned for the spring of 1996; All three selections under consideration for introduction maintained trueness to type in the seed field; Selection MN#184 performed exceptionally well during the 1994-95 growing season.; All three selections responded equally to herbicide treatments. No phytotoxicity was observed on "Poast" (herbicide) treated Poa reptans selections in the seed field. This is a major plus for keeping the seed fields free of bentgrass and weeds. Poast will be the chemical of choice for seed production.; Late planting can be far more successful than might be expected.; Seed harvest can be accomplished with standard equipment and practices.; Each selection produced sufficient seed to warrant continued production; We continue to observe 5 selections under trial at Pickseed West's research area.; Vernalization and photoperiod requirements are major determinants to perenniality.; Vernalization requirements were met between 4C and 8C after 10-12 weeks exposure.; Some perennials are induced to flower under short days while others are induced under long days and some are day neutral but require vernalization.; Inheritance investigations into flowering patterns indicate a 3 : 1 ratio of continual to seasonal flowering which fits a genetic model involving one locus with continual flowering being dominant to seasonal.; Plants resulting from seed of interspecific crosses and reciprocals between Poa supine, Poa infirma and Poa reptans exhibit some unique plant types that warrant continued evaluation.; Plans include expanding the number of evaluation sites in the cool season turfgrass area; continuing efforts into improving seed production; and establishing replicated plantings to evaluate potential use for winter overseeding." |
