Narrative
F1 hybrid between Tift bermudagrass (discovered by J.L. Stephens in old cotton patch near Tifton in 1929) and tall-growing introduction from Union of South Africa. When compared with common bermudagrass, Coastal has larger and longer stems, stolons, and rhizomes; grows much taller; is lighter green; has deeper and more efficient root system; is more resistant to foliage diseases, root knot nematode, frost, and drought; is much more efficient in nutrient and water use; is more palatable and produces nearly twice as much forage and animal products. This superiority holds throughout most of bermudagrass belt, demonstrating wide adaptation. Produces few seed heads that rarely contain viable seed; must be propagated vegetatively. Released 1943, cooperatively by Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station and Plant Science Research Division, ARS.
