| Abstract/Contents: | "Presently only three seeded, turftype bermudagrass varieties are available for turf use. 'Common' bermudagrass seed is commercially available in quantity and used as a general purpose turfgrass in the southern half of the U.S. Improved seeded varieties are needed that are more attractive, especially in color, and density and that are less sensitive to stress conditions of low moisture, iron, nitrogen, and cold than 'Common.' Plant breeding and genetic information now available indicates that improvement in the tetraploid or common type bermudagrass can be achieved by conventional selection and breeding. This research project is designed to develop new seeded strains by polycrossing and single crossing desirable clones and evaluating progeny in several generations for turf quality and seed production. Several progeny from these crosses have been made and are currently being evaluated. Additional cycles of selection will be made if necessary, to develop suitable strains." |
