Description:
Harrison was originally collected from a native stand in Harrison Co., Texas by Natural Resources Conservation Service employees T. Paul Leggett and Ross Brown. Forty seven (47) accessions of Florida paspalum, Paspalum floridanum Michx. were evaluated at the East Texas Plant Materials Center in 1989-94. It was determined that five (5) accessions exhibited superior forage and seed production qualities. In 1994 accession 9043874 was selected as being superior to all other accessions being evaluated based on its dry matter yields, vigor, and seed quality data. Based on these desirable traits, accession 9403874 (Harrison) shows potential for wildlife food and cover and a component of native grass mixes for forage, mine reclamation and prairie restoration uses. For release, accession 9043874 was named Harrison in reference to its county of origin.
