Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct perennial St. Augustine grass selected from the progeny of a controlled pollination of a plant originating in Florida with the pollen of a cold tolerant selection obtained from Memphis, Tenn.
- This purple anther, purple stigma genotype was labeled 6-72-130 and propagated vegetatively by stolons to provide planting stock for studying performance and making comparisons to present commercial varieties.
- FIG. 1 is a photograph of 6-72-130 St. Augustine turf
- FIG. 2 shows a single spike of a 6-72-130 St. Augustine grass plant depicting purple anthers and purple stigmas protruding from several spikelets;
- FIG. 3 is a photograph of a vegetative stolon of 6-72-130 St. Augustine grass.
- Genotype 6-72-130 has a purple anther color, a purple stigma color, and an unreduced chromosome number of 18.
- the internodes are shorter and flatter than most St. Augustine varieties.
- Leaf blade measurements show that 6-72-130 generally has a shorter and narrower leaf blade than most varieties. From the standpoint of judging turf performance, the combination of shorter internodes, narrower leaf blades and shorter leaf blades results in a turf that is generally more dense, finer textured and produces fewer clippings.
- Measurements of the spike and related structures indicate that 6-72-130 has a shorter and narrower spike, a shorter and narrower peduncle, an average length but narrower flag leaf and a shorter flag leaf sheath than other St. Augustine grasses.
- the chromosome numbers, anther and stigma color and morphological measurements of 6-72-130 and other St. Augustine grasses are compared in Tables 1-4.
- Color of turf is an important component of turf quality. 6-72-130 has a pleasant medium green color comparable to many other St. Augustine grasses. Other factors that have shown varietal differences include: tendency to turn brown during the winter, for which 6-72-130 is rated about average; susceptibility to Asulox (an important herbicide) to which 6-72-130 is not susceptible; tendency to have a flush of seedheads in the spring, for which 6-72-130 has a lower tendency than other varieties; purple stem color, especially during cold weather, for which 6-72-130 has a higher than average tendency; susceptibility to gray leaf spot to which 6-72-130 has good resistance; and susceptibility to chinch bugs to which 6-72-130 has shown no greater susceptibility than most other varieties. Data on turf color, winter browning, Asulox injury, seedheads, purple stems, gray leaf spot and chinch bugs are illustrated in Tables 8-12.
