If you’re involved with the installation or the day-to-day care and maintenance of athletic fields, golf courses or high-end commercial and residential lawns, you’ll really like how Quail Valley TifSport Bermuda compares to Tifway, Midiron and the popular common bermudagrasses in use today. TifSport was developed by USDA/ARS geneticist Dr. Wayne Hanna at the University of Georgia Coastal Plains Experiment Station in Tifton, Georgia. This is the same breeding program initiated by Dr. Glenn Burton, the program responsible for Tifgreen, Tifdwarf, TifEagle and Tifway 419, the longtime standard for sports fields, golf courses, commercial landscaping and home lawns. Partly in response to worries over the genetic vulnerability of Tifway, partly as a safeguard against pest and disease problems and partly in search of greater cold tolerance, Dr. Hanna and his team set out to develop a new Bermudagrass that was superior to Tifway. And far superior to the common Bermudas now posing as Tifway in many areas. After sixteen years
of evaluation, we can document that TifSport will perform to the standards
it was bred for and we’ve got the research to back it up. It is
also protected by a USDA patent. And as a further safeguard, TifSport
can only be grown and sold as genetically certified sod or sprigs and
only by a licensed member of the Tift 94 Growers Association. If you're
looking for a certified Bermudagrass that can stand up to the stress and
demands of big-time sports, to the wear and tear of football and soccer
cleats, to the punishment of baseball spikes, relax, you’ve found
it - TifSport. It’s what many experts are calling the new standard
in sports turf for the 21st century.
