‘Alpha’ and ‘T-1’ are two novel cultivars of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) released in Oct. 2004 by Jacklin Seed by Simplot. Creeping bentgrass is a lowgrowing, stoloniferous monocot used almost exclusively on golf course putting greens, tee boxes, and fairways in the temperate regions of the world (Skogley, 1987). Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is a common weed in bentgrass turf, volunteering from seed and establishing itself even under close mowing (Henry et al., 2005). In regions with a mild climate, annual bluegrass can dominate stands of ‘Penncross’ and other bentgrass cultivars (Harivandi et al., 2005). By some estimates, a majority of the golf playing surface in certain regions is volunteer annual bluegrass (Hagley et al., 2002). The purpose of this article is to introduce the development, characteristics, and uses of ‘Alpha’ and ‘T-1’ creeping bentgrass. One objective in breeding these cultivars was to compete more effectively with annual bluegrass under golf conditions. To that end, a 1-ha annual bluegrass green was established as a breeding-proving ground for competitive bentgrass germplasm. As a result of using this technique, ‘Alpha’ and ‘T-1’ have shown improved competitiveness against annual bluegrass encroachment (Morris, 2005, 2006). Moreover, the cultivars have shown the potential to establish more readily by seed into mature annual bluegrass than an older cultivar in a trial described subsequently.
