Narrative

Improved turf-type medium-low growing Kentucky bluegrass but exhibits a more erect growth habit compared to Unique, America, and Baron. Related to the more erect growth habit, the sheath length of the flag leaf and the leaf blade of Diva is longer than Unique, America and Baron. Has a greater spikelet length compared to Unique and America. Earlier in maturity than Unique and America. Seed weight is greater than Unique, America and Baron. Performed well in the National Turfgrass Evaluation test seeded in 2000 at 33 locations in USA. Exhibited excellent performance at high, medium and low maintenance. Has a medium-green color and medium-high shoot density. Exhibits very good resistance to dollar spot (caused by the fungus Sclerotinia homoeocarpa), strip smut (caused by the fungus Ustilago striiformis), leaf spot (caused by the fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana) and summer patch (caused by Magnaporthe poae) diseases.
