Abstract/Contents:States that the USGA's Turfgrass and Environmental Research Program's goals are to "develop improved turfgrass cultivars that will better tolerate environmental stresses such as heat, extreme cold, poor soil quality, and disease and other pests." Explains that most new turfgrass varieties go unnoticed. Discusses the attempts at making bermudagrass cold tolerant. Announces a breakthough at creating "high-quality seeded bermudagrass for use on golf course fairways and rough in the transition zone". Describes some problems when using bermudagrass in the transition zones. Details the pros of using seeded bermudagrass in the transition zone as opposed to sodding. Presents Riviera (OKS 95-1) as an upcoming cold tolerant bermudagrass.
