USGA Summary Points:Hybridization of existing UCR bermudagrass accessions continued, with emphasis on genotypes with desirable winter color retention, early spring green-up, and drought tolerance. A large amount of hybrid seed was produced and germinated, 864 new hybrids were planted. Evaluation of 12 our most promising bermudagrass hybrids in replicated trials across several climatic zones in California revealed 2 hybrids (17-8 and TP6-3), with better or comparable quality and winter color retention relative to commercial cultivars (Bandera, Tifway and TifTuf). New studies including UCR best performers (17-8, TP6-3, BF2 and 10-9) and 7 commercial cultivars were started at two golf courses in northern California to test their performance under regular traffic and maintenance on fairways. Kikuyugrass accessions were intercrossed and selfed, 280 seedlings were obtained and planted. Selection among kikuyugrass continues for less aggressive growth and finer texture. Testing and selection of bermudagrass and kikuyugrass for drought tolerance was initiated. Evaluation of winter color retention continues among entries of bermudas, kikuyus and zoysias.
