| Abstract/Contents: | "The main objective under this cooperative USDA-ARS project has been to develop new bermudagrass hybrids with greater cold tolerance and quality similar to the Tifbermudas (i.e., Tifdwarf, Tifgreen, and Tifway). These hybrids have involved the winterhardy Berlin bermudagrass and our best Cynodon transvaalensis bermudagrass from South Africa. None of the new hybrids equalled the Tif-bermuda in overall performance. One, perhaps several more, were good enough to warrant evaluation for cold tolerance. These materials were sent to Oklahoma State University to determine their cold tolerance. Tifton 10 bermudagrass, officially released in 1988, was registered as a crop cultivar by the Crop Science Society of America in 1990. Tifton 10 continues to perform well at many locations, receiving higher quality ratings than Midiron wherever compared. Its dark bluish green color sets it apart from other turf bermudagrasses. It establishes rapidly from stolons or rhizomes." |
