ASSOCIATION OF OFFICIAL SEED CERTIFYING AGENCIES

(APRIL 2015)

The Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA), Grass Variety Review Board reviewed the

following varieties on March 18, 2015 in Portland, Oregon. The Board recommended the inclusion of these

varieties for certification. Seed of these varieties may be certified, providing production meets all standards

of the Certifying Agency of the jurisdiction in which the seed is grown.

All variety information, including descriptions, claims and research data to support any claim was supplied to

the Grass Variety Review Board by the applicants. The Grass Variety Review Board makes judgments

regarding recommendation of varieties for inclusion into certification based on the data supplied. Beyond

this, the Grass Variety Review Board takes no position on the accuracy or truthfulness of any description or

claim made by the applicants.

Further information on current procedures, application forms and details regarding the Grass Variety Review

Board can be obtained from:

Barterra

1. Variety name: Barterra Kind: Annual Ryegrass Genus: Lolium Species: multiflorum

Experimental designation (s): BAR LM 10723

Date submitted: 1/5/2015

2.

The germplasm used to develop “Barterra” maternally traces back to Lm-358, which is a forage collection made along railroad tracks near

Broadrun, VA. The paternal sources trace back to selections made from populations from which ‘Panterra’ and ‘Panterra V’ were

developed. Breeding work included harvesting half-sibs separately to verify seed yield, and the assembling a synthetic of the half-sibs to

test for turf quality The variety was selected for finer leaves, darker green color, better mowability and high turf quality after winter

overseeding of Bermuda grass in Southern USA. It was also selected for good transition characteristics. . Breeder seed was produced in

2010. Barterra is distinguishable from Terrabar by having statistically longer spikes. Barterra also tends to be taller, with larger, wider

leaves, but these results are not always statistically significant.

3. Barterra has been tested for turf in AZ and TX. It has shown adaptation to that climatic zone. The variteites Barterra and Terrabar will be

blended together into overseeding mixes designed for seeding into Bermudagrass swards.

EcoStar Plus

(Amended – Name Change)

1. Variety name: EcoStar Plus Kind: Hard fescue

Genus: Festuca Species: trachyphylla

Experimental designation (s): JF-234


2. EcoStar Plus hard fescue (Festuca trachyphylla) is a turf-type cultivar developed by Jacklin Seed by Simplot ®, Post Falls, ID. In 2008,

a 2000-plant isolation block of approximately 400 selections was established near Connell, WA. This block was rogued heavily

removing plants from other species, and those that had winter damage, poor crown density, leaf spot, stem rust, low seed head initiation,

or prostrate growth habit. The uniformity of the remaining 208 plants was high and they were harvested in bulk as a test variety and

declared breeder seed in fall 2009. The plants harvested maternally trace to: 55% ABT seedlot 1, 22% ABT seed lot 2, and 10% Rescue

911. The remaining 13% of the plants were developed from plants collected in Seattle, WA and Wisconsin Rapids, WI; selections from

Ecostar, SR 3100, Longfellow II, and Osprey; hard fescue contaminants identified in Jacklin and ABT seedlots.

This variety has plants that are both bluish and green during different times of the year. One color often predominates; leaf color

appears to be influenced by fertility level, time of year and prevailing temperatures. Our observations show plants appear bluish after

fertilization. This is not considered a variant and individual plants have been observed that have both green and blue leaves on the same

plant.

3. JF-234 has been tested in company trials in Post Falls, ID, Vernon, UT and New Carlisle, OH since 2009.

Variants to be

and frequency:

Less than 5% variants have been found and they can be identified as having reduced seedhead initiation, maturity earlier or

later than the majority of the field, or larger plant size compared to the EcoStar Plus plants. These variants are relatively

infrequent in occurrence and are routinely rogued from seedstock fields during the first year of establishment.

Annihilator

1. Variety name: Annihilator Kind: Tall fescue


Experimental designation (s): LF201RESBLKII


2. Annihilator was selected exclusively from six old production fields of LF-201 turf type tall fescue in February, 2008. 139 plants were

initially selected for their leaf texture, very dark color and dense growth habit. Subsequntly, three cycles of plant selections for fine texture,

dark color and increased turf density were done to produce enough seed for a ½ acre breeder block within a commercial production field. It

has a significantly longer panicle length than LF-201 and Marauder. Annihilator heads significantly later than Marauder. Annihilator is

significantly darker than LF-201.

3. Annihilator has been tested in western Oregon for turf use and sod production. It is well adapted to western Oregon climatic conditions

for turf use.

Temple

1. Variety name: Temple Kind: Tall fescue


Experimental designation (s): DZ1


2. The germplasm used to create Temple tall fescue is estimated to be selected from the following varieties: 26% Hemi,

10% Firecracker, 26% Catalyst, 19% Stingray and 19% Biltmore tall fescue. Plants were selected through alternating

cycles of spaced plantings and turf evaluations between the years of 2006-2012 and were selected to improve plant

stem strength, stem rust and leaf spot disease tolerance, tillering, and genetic color. Breeder seed of Temple (DZ1)

was first harvested in July of 2012.

3. Temple has been developed for use as a turfgrass and was tested in St. Paul, Oregon during the years of 2013 and 2014.

Foundation seed for a maximum of six years followed by Certified class seed for seven years. Registered class production fields

may be established from Breeder or Foundation seed, and can be harvested for Registered seed for a maximum of six years

followed by Certified class seed for seven years. Certified class production fields established from Foundation or Registered seed

TetraGain

1. Variety name: TetraGain Kind: Tetraploid perennial ryegrass


Experimental designation (s): PST-2YUR


2. TetraGain tetraploid perennial ryegrass was developed and released by Pure-Seed Testing, Inc. (PST), Hubbard, OR. The parent material

of 2YUR was selected for superior forage growth and quality in trials near Hubbard, Oregon selected out of 7 collections made in Minsk

Belarus in the former Soviet Union in 2007. In the fall of 2009 200 seedlings were planted into a space planted nursery started from the

seven plants at Pure-Seed Testing’s research facility near Hubbard, Oregon. In the following summer of 2010 nine uniform and distinct

plants of medium maturity, with resistance to Stem Rust and improved forage potential were isolated in polycross nursery. Seed from all

nine of the plants were harvested as 2YUR-BULK. During the fall of 2010, 1800 plants were started from seed of the bulk of seed

harvested from the polycross made earlier in the summer. During the spring of 2011, plants were removed from the 2YUR nursery to

increase uniformity of plant type and maturity. Selection criteria for remaining plants were medium maturity, soft leaves, increased

forage production, increased seed yield potential, and no visible stem rust symptoms. Remaining plants interpollinated during the

summer of 2011. Seed was subsequently harvested from the 388 remaining plants in July 2011 as the breeder seed of PST-2YUR. In the

fall of 2012, forage trials were established in Oregon, and Kentucky to evaluate forage quality of TetraGain.

RAD-TF83 (Exp)





2. RAD-TF83 was developed by Radix Research, Inc. beginning with individual plant selections from various nurseries located at the

Radix Research Station near Corvallis, Oregon. RAD-TF83 originates from selections of the varieties Tonto (28%), Sitka (28%),

Honkey Tonk (20%), Tahoe II (12%) and Starfire (12%). Plants were selected on the basis of strong and intact crowns, dark color,

general freedom from disease, stem thickness, seed yield capacity and floret fertility. Subsequently, one cycle of seed selection was

used to create an isolated crossing block that produced the first breeder seed in 2012.

3. RAD-TF83 was evaluated for turf performance in western Oregon and is adapted to this location. It will be made available for sale in
