Agrostis stolonifera

Tillinghast

Tillinghast

Tillinghast (DLFPS-AP-3084) creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) demonstrates excellent turf quality under both putting green and fairway management in the 2023 NTEP trials. It is fine textured with a medium-dark green color. Tillinghast shows superior resistance to dollar spot (caused by Clarireedia jacksonii), brown patch (caused by Rhizoctonia solani) and pink snow mold (Microdochium nivale). In addition, it shows excellent resistance to anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) and pythium root rot. Tillinghast has high density without bentgrass bloat that makes it more resistant to Poa annua invasion and easier to manage thatch. The early spring greenup also helps it resist annual bluegrass.
