Narrative
Tift 10 is a perennial at Tifton, GA (USDA zone 8a). It was significantly taller than Tift 17 in two of four tests at Tifton and in one of two tests at Blairsville, GA. Height differences were non-significant in two of four tests at Tifton and in one test at each Blairsville and Griffin. Plant canopy diameter and base diameter were non-significant in five of six tests and three of four tests between Tift 10 and Tift 17, respectively. Leaf width differences between Tift 1 O and Tift 17 were significant in two of three tests. Tift 10 tended to have wider leaves than Tift 17. No significant differences were measured between these two cultivars for leaf length. Culm-leaf angle was significantly smaller for Tift 10 compared to Tift 17 which gives Tift 10 a more upright leaf structure. Tift 10 had significantly more leaves per culm than Tift 17. On 21 Dec. 2009 inflorescences were exserted on Tift 10 but not on Tift 17 (completely vegetative) in three different tests. Tift 10 produced significantly fewer culms per plant than Tift 17 in two of four tests. Tift 10 is pollen and seed sterile. No pollen or seed h,as been observed on plants flowering in the greenhouse during the winter (short days). Tift 10 had significantly better color in six of six tests. Leaves on young rooted cuttings of Tift 10 have better color ratings that those of Tift 17. Twenty-four (28 Jan. 2008) and 53-day (20 Mar. 2008) color ratings for Tift 10 and Tift 17 were 7.8 vs. 7.0 (LSD-0.05=0.6) and 8.5 vs. 7.8 (LSD-05=0.6), respectively. The darker color of Tift 10 would favor this cultivar in the retail outlets. Helminthosporium leaf spot is known to affect some genotypes in this species but, this disease has not been observed at Tifton, Griffin, or Blairsville, GA on Tift 10.

Pedigree
Description:
In 2003, red tetraploid (2n = 4x = 28) pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum, 04-94) was crossed with SC 1125-2 [a Merkeron napiergrass (P. purpureum, 2n = 4x = 28) x PS 262 (P. squamulatum, 2n = 8x = 56) interspecific hybrid]. One vigorous plant (04-26-1) was selected in 2004. In 2004, 'Princess' napiergrass (2n = 4x = 28) was pollinated with 04-26-1. 05-10 was the 10th plant selected in 2005 from the 2004 cross. It has been tested as 05-10 or simply as 10 since 2005.
