Narrative
‘MSA 2-3-98' is a cold tolerant, high quality St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] developed at Mississippi State University. MSA 2-3-98 was released on April 19, 2006 from Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. MSA 2-3-98 offers many advantages compared to other St. Augustinegrass cultivars. Leaf length, leaf width, internode length, and internode diameter of MSA 2-3-98 were significantly smaller than ‘Floratam’ and ‘Raleigh’. The more diminutive morphology of MSA 2-3-98 allows it to establish a denser turfgrass canopy with finer leaf texture. Cold tolerance of MSA 2-3-98 was evaluated from spring assessments of percent green turfgrass cover and overall plot green-up. The cold tolerance of MSA 2-3-98 was similar to Raleigh, but outperformed Floratam. MSA 2-3-98 turfgrass quality tended to be greater than Delmar, Floratam, and Raleigh. Gray leaf spot (Pyricularia oryzae Cavara) severity on MSA 2-3-98 was variable among locations where the disease was evaluated. MSA 2-3-98 has greater turfgrass quality with similar cold tolerance to Raleigh.

Pedigree
Description:
MSA 2-3-98 was developed from 3 generations of selection. In the first generation, MSA-10 was cross pollinated by SATX 8 to produce the selection ‘F1-16’ and Raleigh was crossed with MSA-10 to produce ‘F1-24’. In the second generation, F1-16 was crossed with F1-24 to produce ‘F2-1’. F2-1 was then planted in a nursery surrounded by other F2 selections and allowed to open pollinate. MSA 2-3-98 is a single genotype selection that resulted from the open- (possible self-) pollination of F2-1.
