| Abstract/Contents: | "Curly-mesquite [Hilaria belangeri (Steud) Nash] is a warm-season perennial short grass native to Mexico, as well as to the semi-arid and arid areas of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in the U.S. Curly-mesquite has been mixed with buffalograss [Bouteloua dactyloides (Nutt.) J.T. Columbus; or Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm] as well as blue grama [B. gracilis (Willd. Ex Kunth) Lag. ex Griffiths] to create more diverse turfgrass mixes for lawns in warm semi-arid and arid climates. Non-replicated field plantings of these 3-way mixes initially resulted in stands of all three species but in two cases the curly-mesquite died out at Stillwater Oklahoma after the first winter. These finding lead to focused replicated research trials that also found complete winter-kill of curly-mesquite in three-way mixes under field conditions at Stillwater, OK. Subsequent to those findings an effort was begun to determine if the winter-hardiness and turf-type characteristics of curly-mesquite could be readily improved through selections made from a broad-based genetic population and use of breeding and recurrent selection. This poster reports on the first four years of research in the effort to improve the winter-hardiness and turf-type characteristics of curly-mesquite." |
