| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine the genetic potential of native prairie junegrass (Koeleria macrantha) germplasm for use as a low-input turfgrass." Describes the experiment, stating that "native prairie junegrass germplasm from Minnesota, South Dakota, Colorado, and Nebrask [were collected]. These germplasm collections have been established in breeding nurseries, and in some cases, experience one cycle of selection...The first experiment evaluated the USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] collection of Koeleria macrantha for seed production potential in Minnesota." Reports that "preliminary results from the mowing study indicate that sufficient variation for many important turf traits exists in the USDA...collection." Also presents an interview with Dr. Eric Watkins "regarding the work at the University of Minnesota to develop prairie junegrass as a turfgrass." |
