Examples: Ginney, Alexa, Midnight, NuGlade, Quantum Leap, Total Eclipse, and Award

American Types

Within the Compact Type a number of varieties exhibit growth and performance similar to American. These varieties have fine leaf texture and higher tiller density than other compact type varieties. American Types in contrast to Midnight Types have good resistance to powdery mildew.

Examples: Apollo, American, Unique, Mystere, and Bedazzled

BVMG Types

This group has high speed yield potential and generally produces medium to good quality turf in the absence of stripe smut. The BVMG Types generally are very stemmy in early spring. This group also has poor winter color, long winter dormancy, and suffers from significant billbug damage.

Examples: Dragon, Baron, Victa, Merit

Shamrock Type:

Similar to the BVMG Types with high seed yield potential, but unlike the BVMG, Shamrock types exhibit good resistance to stripe smut.

Examples: Guinness and Shamrock

Compact Types

Low compact growth and good leaf spot resistance. This group has long winter dormancy (except P-105) and good stripe smut resistance.

Examples: Princeton-105, Diva, Moonlight, Blackstone, Apex, Glade, Alpin

Mid-Atlantic Types

This group forms vigorous turf of medium density with deep, extensive root and rhizome systems. This group has moderate susceptibility to leaf spot, but has excellent ability to recover from leaf spot and other stress due to the deep extensive rhizomes system. This group has great tolerance to heat and summer stress.

Examples: Eagleton, Preakness, Hunnington, and Livingston

Common Types
