Question: | "What advantages does B-27 bluegrass have over commercial bluegrass seed? When will B-27 seed be available on the market and what will it cost?" |
Answer/Response: | "B-27 bluegrass is lower growing, will withstand closer mowing, is more resistant to Helminthosporium leafspot and maintains a turf of pleasing color with greater freedom from weeds than does commercial Kentucky bluegrass. There is evidence that it is somewhat more heat tolerant and drought tolerant than is common bluegrass. Cooperative tests in progress will decide some of these points. Seed should be available commercially in reasonable supply in two years. Acreage increase for seed production is expanding rapidly. Most of the seed will be produced in Oregon. The cost of B-27 bluegrass will be much higher; it may sell at four to five times the price of common bluegrass. It is excpected that less seed will be required to produce good turf. Establishment is more rapid and seedling vigor is greater than with common bluegrass." |
