`Tift 94` Bermudagrass

Abstract

Tift 94 is a vigorous triploid (2n=3x=27 chromosomes) which has use on golf course fairways and tees, athletic fields, lawns, commercial landscape sites, and other turf areas where a fine-textured, low growing turf is desired. The grass produces less upright growth and has shorter and narrower leaves, and shorter internodes than Midiron from which it was developed and Tifway, two commercially available cultivars. It produces more shoots per node than Midiron. It has better color and turf quality than Midiron.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Bermudagrass plant, substantially as herein shown and described, distinguished by the fine textures of the leaf blade, short internodes, and improved color which produces a low growing turf with improved density and quality.
