Plant height — Colonial bentgrass

Agrostis capillaris L.

The height of generative shoots of colonial bentgrass varies from 20 to 80 cm, while the vegetative parts of the plant can be located at a height of 10–15 cm.

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

Depending on growing conditions, the generative shoots of colonial bentgrass reach a height of 20 to 80 cm. In the vegetative state, the main shoots and leaf apparatus form a lower layer, positioned at a height of 10–15 cm from the soil surface.

When evaluating the crop for distinctness, uniformity, and stability, the natural height without vernalization is measured on a representative sample. Recording this trait is critically important for breeding and turfgrass use, where the plant's ability to maintain turf density under regular low mowing is a determining factor in a variety's competitiveness.
