2019 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Bermudagrass Test: Establishment Data, Linda Parsons, Jason J. Griffin, Michael J. Shelton

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Kansas represents the northernmost region in the central United States where ber­mudagrass (Cynodonspp.) can be successfully grown as a perennial turfgrass. His­torically, few cultivars that have both acceptable quality and adequate cold tolerance have been available to local growers. Because new introductions are continually being selected for improved hardiness and quality, both seeded and vegetative types need regular evaluation to determine their long-range suitability for use in Kansas.
