Abstract/Contents: | In 1996 Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, the USGA and Bentgrass Research Inc. released MARINER Creeping Bentgrass to the turfgrass industry. This is a specialized grass that will improve conditions in areas where salinity is a problem. In addition, three other grasses are being prepared for release in 1997. The bentgrass breeding program has also initiated a program for genetic improvement using the concepts of biotechnology. Future efforts for the program include research on methodology and success of interseeding of new bentgrasses into existing bentgrass greens, examining other methods of mechanical and chemical treatments, and timing rates of interseeding. |
