Description:
The name Ecoturf was originally given to PI 262840 by researchers at the University of Florida. Numerous experiments have been conducted using this material labeled as either PI 262840 or Ecoturf. Recent molecular marker research by Mass et. al., 2010, indicated that the materials that we have recently evaluated as Ecoturf has a genetic similarity coefficient less than 1.0 compared to PI 262840 received from PGRCU. Thus a new PI Number was assigned.
