Abstract/Contents:Describes the history of bermudagrass cultvar breeding and improvement, listing the chronological development of officially released bermudagrass cultivars by sponsoring agency and method of propagation. Also presents the results of several bermudagrass cultivar evaluations based on quality ratings. Notes that breeding emphasis "has indeed shifted to seed-propagated bermudagrass in that the record 1997 NTEP bermudagrass trial has 18 seeded entries but only 10 vegetative entries."
