- Abstract
This article presents information about the newly registered variety of buffalograss, named "Cody." Cody, having Registration number CV-242 and PI number 593467, was developed through cooperative efforts of the Native Turfgrass Group and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska. It was released in March 1995. Cody was evaluated under the experimental designation NTG-6. This turf-type buffalograss variety was derived by intermating NTG-1, NTG-2, NTG-3, NTG-4, and NTG-5. Each line was derived from a four-clone synthetic consisting of two female and two male clones. The nine female and seven male parental clones that made up these five NTG experimental lines were selected from a large heterogeneous buffalograss collection established at the John Seaton Anderson Turfgrass Research Facility located near Mead, Nebraska. Trials in Nebraska indicated Cody was more responsive to early fall dormancy than other new varieties during establishment and at maturity. Cody is recommended for low- to medium-maintenance turfgrass sites in the northern, southern, and the central Great Plains and the southern arid regions of the U.S.
