Narrative
Relatively upright, tall growing (~35 cm), forage-type bermudagrass that combines high forage yield capability, good low temperature tolerance, and disease resistance. Stem diameter, shoot length, and leaf width similar to Midland and Tifton 44, though leaf length tends to be 2 to 4 cm longer. Produces stout rhizomes. Typically produces seed heads later and less prolifically than Midland and Tifton 44. Sets few seed and is asexually propagated. High forage production capability and good freeze tolerance relative to Midland, Tifton 44, and Greenfield standards. Highly resistant to leaf spotting disease (Bipolaris cynodontis). Adapted throughout the southern U.S. where bermudagrass is grown, but is targeted for the northern half of the bermudagrass belt.
