Abstract/Contents: | A world-wide germplasm collection of 143 St. Augustinegrasses (Stenotaphrum secundatum) was compared for a year and a half in replicated field plots. Characteristics for systematic comparison included: coverage, depth of color, internode length, and incidence of grey leafspot disease [Ceratosphaeria grisea]. On the basis of over 3500 observations, some currently available cvs such as Floratam and Floratine were among the most acceptable genotypes. One recent release, Seville, was a superior dward St. Augustinegrass, and would make a fine quality lawn, but could be prone to injury by the southern chinch bug [Blissus sp.] and longer term studies would be required to evaluate maintenance requirements. |
