Abstract/Contents:"In 2007 and 2008, University of Arizona faculty and students collected approximately 150 separate plants (clones) of native bunchgrasses from Arizona rangelands with histories of livestock grazing. Plants were evaluated for their potential use as turfgrass in greenhouse trials. Top performing clones of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), slender grama (B. repens), hairy grama (B. hirsuta), sprucetop grama (B. chondrosioides), and wolftail (Lycurus phleloides) were also evaluated under field conditions for two years. Results of these evaluations include: Blue grama collections produced robust size plants, but produced necrotic tillers and significant amounts of straw foliage in concentric rings from plant centers outward. Hairy grama, slender grama, and wolftail clones produced plants with high shoot densities during the establishment summer (2008), but could not maintain turf density under mowing in 2009 and 2010. Sprucetop grama produced the greatest number of acceptable plants, exhibiting minimal amounts of necrotic foliage (5% or less), at the end of the test in 2010. Sprucetop grama was normally distributed within its sampling population for quality indicating that standard phenotypic recurrent selection may be an appropriate breeding scheme for population improvement among selected plants."
