| Abstract/Contents: | "FLoraTeX™ bermudagrass is a joint release of the Florida and Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations. FLoraTeX™ is a low maintenance bermudagrass for cemeteries, golf course fairways and roughs, lawns, parks, and sports turfs. Its merits are as follows: (1) widely adapted throughout the southern United States especially under low maintenance inputs, (2) widely adapted to soil pH, (3) very low nitrogen requirement, (4) excellent drought resistance and dehydration avoidance, (5) superior rooting depth and mass, (6) excellent fall low temperature color retention, (7) very early spring greenup, (8) good wear tolerance, (9) resistant to bermudagrass stunt mite, (10) tolerant to short-winged mole cricket, (11) tolerant to lance and spiral nematodes, (12) least affected by dollar spot under low nitrogen stress, (13) can be identified by its starch gel electrophoresis banding pattern for aconitase. Its limitations are as follows: (1) produces seedheads in late Spring, (2) may produce viable seed which may contaminate turf with off-types, (3) must be vegetatively propagated, (4) susceptible to sting nematode, (5) poor shade adaptation which is a characteristic of all bermudagrass cultivars." |
