Description:
DH66OP is derived from the hybridization between a dihaploid inducing L. multiflorum genetic stock (IL3) hybridized by a non-rhizomatous, endophyte free tall fescue Nanyro cv. This F1 hybrid provided a rhizomatous, hybridized by a non-rhizomatous, tall fescue dihaploid recovery designated DH66. DH66 was vegetatively propgated and transplated to a field nursery wehre it was cross-pollinated by numerous tall fescue germplasms. Seed were bulk harvested from DH66 clones and the seed was given the designation DH66.
