Question: | "When establishing U-3 bermudagrass, why should one use vegetative material when U-3 seed can be purchased?" |
Answer/Response: | "Even though U-3 bermudagrass produces viable seed which can be and are harvested and sold, those seed do not produce a uniform population when planted. Many of the seed will produce plants so closely similar to U-3 that for all practical purposes one would say they were identical to the U-3 from which the seed came. However, the many other types of seedlings which will develop from the same source of seed will be quite varied in their characteristics. In "THE LAWN BOOK," U-3 is a strain of common Bermudagrass selected in 1938 from the Savannah Golf Club, Savannah, Georgia. It was tested for several years at Beltsville, Maryland, by the U. S. Golf Association, Green Section, and the USDA and jointly released in 1946-47." He further states, "Although seed produced from U-3 stolons is now on the market, the pure strain of the grass described here as U-3 must be planted vegetatively."" |
