Narrative
A 33-clone advanced generation synthetic cultivar, Blazer is a leafy, persistent, turf-type perennial ryegrass capable of producing an attractive, dense, moderately low growing, fine-textured turf of a bright, medium dark green color. A medium late flowering cultivar in seed production, easy to establish, rapid germination, excellent seedling vigor, grows on a wide range of soil types, in light intensities ranging from full sun to moderate shade. It has excellent wear tolerance, good winter hardiness and improved summer performance. Has shown good resistance to the large brown patch disease incited by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn and the winter brown blight disease incited by Drechslera spp., and moderate resistance to crown rust caused by Puccinia coronata Corda. Performs well for winter overseeding of dormant warm season turfgrasses in the southern U.S.
