International Classification:

A01H 500

US Classification:

PLT391

Abstract:

A new female diploid cultivar of Buffalograss (i. e. , ) is provided that resulted from mass selection. Superior turf quality is displayed over the entire growing season. The stolons are of fine texture and the internodes are short. Good drought tolerance is displayed. The plant exhibits superior turf green color retention and short winter dormany. The growth habit is extremely competitive with respect to weeds. A high turf density is made possible with a rapid stolon spreading rate and short plant height that provides an attractive low maintenance turf.

International Classification:

A01H 500

US Classification:

Plt 90

Abstract:

A vegetatively reproduced perennial buffalograss cultivar was developed through mass selection from diploid (2n=20) buffalograss germplasms which is named `Hilite` 15. It is distinguished by its fine texture, high turf density, rapid stolon spreading rate, competitive growth, short height growth, improved winter green color and short winter dormancy, summer turf quality, drought tolerance, low maintenance requirements, and improved turf performance.
