Abstract/Contents:"The thrust of this tall fescue breeding program was to develop cultivars that are adapted to the Piedmont Region of the Southeastern United States....During the past five years we have developed an excellent germplasm base for tall fescue breeding. A number of superior tall fescue clones were selected with dark green color, fine texture and disease resistance. These specific groups were assembled in synthetics on the basis of morphological characteristics and color. One experimental is being tested in NC, TN, and GA. Seed stocks were increased and two additional experimentals will be included as potential varieties in the 1996 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) for evaluation across the entire United States. These should have desirable turf traits and tolerance to brown patch."
