Narrative
Moapa germplasm scratchgrass grows very fast under crop conditions. It will easily fill the space between 102-cm (40-in) rows in one growing season. Spreading is by rhizomes and stolons. Unlike some arid grasses, flowering does not appear to be triggered by irrigation, but rather appears to be dependent on day length. Moapa germplasm is not tolerant of the 2,4-D amine herbicide.

Pedigree
Description:
Moapa Germplasm was developed from collections made at 3 distinct sites within Clark County in southern Nevada. Accessions were planted in a 0.08-ha (0.2-ac) field at the USDA NRCS Tucson Plant Materials Center in September 2005. Plugs of each accession were randomly planted throughout the field. Seeds were harvested in fall 2006 with the Woodward Flail-Vac seed stripper.
