Rhizome of Colonial Bentgrass

Agrostis capillaris L.

The rhizome of colonial bentgrass is a short, creeping underground shoot that provides vegetative propagation and the formation of a dense, resilient turf.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Common bent, where this is mentioned in the description.

The rhizome of colonial bentgrass is positioned horizontally in the upper soil layer and is characterized as short and creeping. Due to the branching and active spreading of these underground shoots, the plant creates a dense turf cover that is resistant to regular mowing and intensive mechanical impact.

The presence of rhizomes allows the species to successfully regenerate and maintain viability under adverse conditions, including drought periods. This morphological trait is diagnostic for distinguishing colonial bentgrass from related species, although the intensity of rhizome development in this species is lower than in creeping bentgrass.
