Narrative
In production Inferno appears most similar to Rebel 2000; however Inferno has lower plant height, narrower flagleaf width, shorter flagleaf length, shorter panicle length and shorter tiller leaf length (measured on secondary leaf from base to leaf tip prior to anthesis). Has shown excellent turf quality in NTEP trials under high and medium maintenance. Has good regional adaptation in Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Mountain, Semi Arid, and Southern par tof the U.S. In these trials it has exhibited good resistance to drought, brown patch, (caused by Rhizoctonia solani), stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis) and typhula blight (caused by Typhula incarnata). Maintains good turf quality under traffic stress. Has a finer leaf texture and a denser sward than many cultivars. Recommended for sports fields, home lawns, parks and golf course roughs where tall fescue is adapted for turf.
