Variety traits
Poa pratensis L.
Kentucky bluegrass is a rhizomatous, loose-turf grass whose root system ensures the formation of a dense, wear-resistant sod and the vegetative regeneration of the grass stand.
In the reference 82 varieties crop Kentucky bluegrass, where this is mentioned in the description.
The rhizomes of Kentucky bluegrass are a system of horizontal underground shoots that play a key role in the longevity of the crop. A well-developed network of rhizomes allows the plant to independently fill in gaps in the turf and recover effectively after mechanical damage or heavy trampling.
In breeding programs, this trait is evaluated by the length of the rhizomes and their density per unit area. The intensive development of underground shoots in Kentucky bluegrass usually begins in the second season after sowing, with varieties showing high rhizome-forming activity being the most valuable for creating durable lawns.
