Question:"What advantages, if any, has Cocoos bent over Washington bent? Is it true, as some claim, that Cocoos bent requires less water than other bents and is less liable to be injured by brownpatch?"
Source of Question:Missouri
Answer/Response:"Cocoos is the trade name for seaside creeping bent grown in Oregon. It can sometimes be purchased more economically as seaside bent than by the trade name. Seed of Washington creeping bent is not on the market, but nursery stock may be purchased. The nursery stock is composed of vegetative material, or stolons, which are chopped up and planted the same as seed, except that the chopped stolons must be topdressed to a depth of 1/3 inch. Stolon planting is more expensive than planting by seed. There is not much difference in the winter requirements of seaside creeping bent and Washington creeping bent, nor is there much difference between the two in drought resistance. Washington creeping bent is more susceptible to dollarspot than is seaside creeping bent, but is more resistant to brownpatch. With either seaside creeping bent or Washington creeping bent you would have to use a fungicide to control fungus diseases during the summer months, and there ,would be very little in favor of either of these strains of creeping bent as far as resistance to both of these diseases is concerned."
