| Abstract/Contents: | "The most significant accomplishment of our turf research program in 1989 was the discovery of a unique bermudagrass at the SCS Plant Materials Center, Quicksand, Kentucky when I spoke there at a Warm-Season Grass Symposium in the Kentucky mountains, March 7, 1989. The grass was dormant at that time but the enthusiasm of the people over its performance for them caused me to obtain sprigs and establish test plots this summer. They reported that it was very winter hardy, had been around for many years and had been referred to as Quicksand common. Its origin was not known. The rhizomes they sent me were labeled 9034348 bermudagrass. They told me they were planning to release it as lawn grass. We found this bermuda that I will call "Quicksand" (they will probably give it another name) to be very fine-stemmed, highly disease resistant, very vigorous and a rapid spreader. It is fertile and could be a better parent for making winter hardy triploid hybrids than the Berlin bermuda that we have used thus far. Our Cynodon transvaalensis introductions were through heading before our "Quicksand" bermuda produced heads so no crosses could be made this year. I expect to make a lot of Quicksand x transvaalensis hybrids in 1990." |
