| Abstract/Contents: | "Turfgrass breeding at Fort Lauderdale applies the general principles of plant adaptation to the humanistic goal of improving turfgrasses for the 1980's. A germplasm resource of approximately 600 accessions has been estab lished as the foundation for new cultivars. Breeding and selection procedures place priority on genotypes requiring smaller inputs of energy, pesticides, water, and fertilizer, in order to maintain an attractive and durable cover for urban areas. A breeding philosophy is presented that considers the need for long-term field-level adaptation and turf quality, but is cautious regarding single-character evaluations. These procedures are part of an ongoing program designed to re spond to changing conditions in the turfgrass environment of the future." |
