| Abstract/Contents: | Explains that buffalograss is "a dense, low-growing, warm-season grass species with excellent high-temperature tolerace, drought resistance and water conservation characteristics." States that "buffalograss is quite variable and is a relatively easy species to improve using traditional plant breeding techniques." Profiles "some examples of the excellent improvements in buffalograss turfgrass performance" among different cultivars. Suggests that "acceptance of buffalograss is on the increase due primarily to concerns of [the] industry over water conservation and the need to reduce inputs, like fertilizer and pesticide use." |
