Narrative
Dioecious, diploid with a somatic chromosome number of 20. Is a fine-textured grass appropriate for use as a turf. Its rapid stolon growth results in quick establishment from seed. Density of Tech Turf I was comparable or better than Bison and Bowie in Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas. Has medium green color which remains well into fall, delaying dormancy. During spring is slower to achieve adequate green cover than most cultivars. Delayed fall dormancy and spring greenup may contribute to the poor performance of Tech Turf I in Kansas and Nebraska. Due to biological mechanansims Tech Turf I has reduced water requirements and is recommended for use where low-to-medium maintenance turfgrass is desired. Appears to be well adapted to semiarid, temperate climates of USA; western regions of Plant Hardiness Zones 5 and central and western regions of Plant Hardiness Zones 6 to 10.
