SR7150 Colonial Bent Grass

SR 7150 Colonial Bentgrass

SR 7150 Colonial Bentgrass (browntop) is a versatile low maintenance grass that can be used on golf courses and in home lawns. It can also be used as part of an overseeding blend for bermudagrass greens. Under low maintenance conditions with reduced nitrogen colonial bentgrasses have shown excellent turf quality and the ability to survive where other grasses have given up. They are very wear tolerant and are an important component of links-style turf. The darker green color of SR 7150 makes it better for combining with other species than older lighter green bent grass varieties.

Uses

SR 7150, a fine-textured, dark green colonial bentgrass was selected for an upright growth so it does not false crown and scalp like many other bentgrasses. It retains its color into the fall, has excellent winter growth and greens-up early in the spring. It has excellent dollar spot resistance and improved brown patch resistance. SR 7150 can be used for golf course fairways from the Transition Zone north, in addition to the Pacific and west. It is ideal for a low maintenance and reduced input fairways, especially when combined with improved fine fescues. It can also be used for low maintenance roughs and home lawns. Colonial bent grasses are often found in sites with no irrigation, fertilization or management.

History

SR 7150 was developed from plants collected from an old turf site in Beltsville, MD that had once been planted with the bentgrass Plant Introduction collection at least 25 years before. The best plants were allowed to interpollinate and the progeny screened in Columbia , Missouri for persistence, turf quality, color and brown patch resistance when maintained as spaced plants mown at fairway height. The resulting superior plants were cloned and allowed to interpollinate near Corvallis, Oregon and became the basis for SR 7150 bent grass.
