Narrative

Results from the 1998 NTEP Progress Report, 2001 shows improved in overall quality under medium-input conditions. In the same trial, was the darkest hard fescue in the trial. Also displayed improved fall % living ground cover and resistance to summer patch (Magnaporthe poae) and was more resistant than Osprey, Scaldis and Scaldis II. Most similar to Brigade. However, differs in several key morphological characteristics including length of culm from crown to flagleaf collar and flagleaf sheath length. Also has lighter weight seed than Brigade. This is an improved turf-type cv. with dark green leaves and a slower growing habit. Key attributes are good establishment, persistence, and presence of endophyte (Neotyphodium spp). With the endophyte comes improved resistance to diseases such as dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) as well as resistance to surface-feeding insects like billbug (Shenophorus spp). Uniform and stable. Recommended for home lawns, roadsides, parks and golf course out-of-play areas where hard fescue is suitable for turf. Can be grown in full sun or full shade. Low growth habit make it suitable for unmowed lower maintenance conditions.
