Narrative
Mariah Germplasm is recommended for roadside plantings, critical site revegetation and in range seedling mixes. It can be used in many types of conservation plantings, such as grassed waterways, streamside buffers, filter strips, and pond embankments. It will provide a new native species for rangeland planting, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and water quality improvement. It has high active germination (>90%), a high 2-day germination, good seedling vigor, is moderately stoloniferous, and produces multiple seed crops. Average annual seed yields at Kingsville have been 225 pounds per acre. These species characteristics, along with its preferred adaptation to central and western portions of Texas, make it a good complimentary species with Kika260 shortspike windmillgrass. It is well adapted for use in the southern and central portions of Texas, coinciding with MLRA 83 (Rio Grande Plain), MLRA 78 (Central Rolling Red Plains), MLRA 80 (Central Prairies), MLRA 81 (Edwards Plateau), MLRA 82 (Texas Central Basin) and MLRA 150 (Gulf Coast Prairies).

Description:
A selected ecotype of hooded windmillgrass from native plants. Initially evaluated at the USDA-NRCS E. "Kika" de la Garza Plant Materials Center, Kingsville, Texas, from 2000 through 2001. A total of 43 accessions of windmillgrass were collected from throughout the state of Texas and were included in the study. From these initial evaluations, accessions 9085301 and 9085313 were determined to be the best accessions of hooded windmillgrass for vigor, growth form and development, and disease resistance.
