| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Collect and evaluate potentially useful turfgrass germplasm. 2. Collect and evaluate endophytes associated with cool-season turfgrass species. 3. Continue the breeding and development of new cool-season turfgrasses. 4. Develop and apply several new tools designed to improve the ability to discriminate among endophyte isolates from nature and to synthesize new grass-endophyte combinations for experimental testing and possible commercial use." States that "over 10,400 new turfgrass evaluation plots and over 115,000 spaced-plants were established in 2000." Reports that "some gray leaf spot resistance was found in perennial ryegrass selections that trace to Eastern Europe," and that "opportunities are present to improve colonial and velvet bentgrass with better adapatation to hotter, more humid summers." This five-year study began in 1982. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Five bluegrasses, ten ryegrasses, ten tall fescues, and one Chewings fescues released. Some gray leaf spot resistance was found in perennial ryegrass selections that trace to Eastern Europe. New endophytes from Eastern Europe were identified. Opportunities are present to improve colonial and velvet bentgrass with better adaptation to hotter, more humid summers. New putting green bermudagrass developed. |
