Narrative
USDA-Accelerate is a creeping foxtail with excellent seedling vigor (emergence from deep seeding percentage and rate) and good herbage dry mass and nutritive value. Wet meadows require plant materials with excellent seedling vigor and tolerance to consistently wet conditions. Creeping foxtail does well under these wet conditions but lacks the seedling vigor to consistently establish under the competition from other plant materials on these sites. We developed USDA-Accelerate as a Synl cultivar derived from two cycles of selection from 63 genotypes from four germplasm accessions and the cultivar 'Garrison'. Under multi environment trialing, USDA-Accelerate had 140% greater total emergence, 142% greater emergence rate, and similar herbage dry mass and nutritive value when compared to Garrison. This release supports the USDA-ARS effort to supply improved perennial grass cultivars for animal feed and soil stabilization for the western U, S. USDA-Accelerate will be an important component of revegetation projects on mountain and wet meadows in this region where perennial grass establishment is limited by weak seedling vigor.

Description:
PI 229479 - 12 plants Pl 229525 - 12 plants Pl 314355 - 12 plants cv. Garrison - 12 plants PI 229525 - 15 plants These 63 plants were crossed in an open-pollinated nursery. The resulting progeny then went through two cycles of selection for seed production and shatter, and then for emergence from a deep seeding depth.
