The document discusses different types of turf grasses and their growth characteristics. It defines terms like cultivar, dormancy, optimum growth temperatures, and spreading mechanisms for grasses like rhizomes and stolons. It also discusses concepts like cultivar mixtures, species mixtures, and uniform seeding applications.

3. Turf species that have
optimum growth at
temperatures between
60 and 75°F.

4. A cultivated variety of
a species, such as K-31
and Rebel.

5. The resting stage of plant or ripe seeds during which nearly all
manifestations of life come to an almost complete standstill.
Note the

7. A combination of two or more cultivars
of the same species, for example Rebel
and Falcon tall fescue.

8. A combination of seeds of two or more
species, for example Kentucky
bluegrass and perennial ryegrass.

9. Uniform application to an entire area.

10. Plant development in the absence of
rhizome and stolon production or a non-
spreading grass

11. Plant development at or near the soil
surface that results in lateral spreading by
rhizomes, stolons, or both.

12. A joint where leaves, roots, branches, or
stems arise.

13. An underground creeping stem that can
produce roots and shoots at each node.

14. A stolon or rhizome used to establish turf.

produce roots and shoots at each node.
