Variety traits
Agrostis gigantea Roth
Agrostis gigantea is a rhizomatous perennial that uses a system of robust underground stems for expansion, unlike species that propagate via above-ground stolons.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Black bent, where this is mentioned in the description.
The rhizomes of Agrostis gigantea serve as the primary structure for vegetative reproduction and the formation of dense sod. They are robust, branching, and creeping shoots capable of penetrating the soil to a depth of 15 to 30 centimeters.
The presence of such a system ensures high plant viability, as fragmentation of the rhizomes during mechanical soil cultivation does not destroy the crop but rather promotes its vegetative spread. The ability to form such underground organs allows the grass to successfully compete and survive in waterlogged, acidic, and nutrient-poor soils.
