| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses turfgrass breeding efforts in the 1970s, suggesting that "the breeding and selection of truly outstanding varieties is one of the greatest needs of the turfgrass industry." Also suggests that "the most important attributes of an improved turfgrass variety are dependability, durability, reduced maintenance requirements and attractive appearance." Highlights plant resistance to disease and herbicides, shade tolerance, turf-type growth habit, color, tolerance of problem soils, heat tolerance, and reproductive systems in turfgrass. Profiles projects conducted to hybridize Kentucky bluegrass, stating that "Rutgers has been the first institution to exploit hybridization in the improvement of Kentucky bluegrass. Hybridization allows the breeder to recombine the best characteristics of two or more parents into one plant." |
