Abstract

A vegetatively reproduced buffalograss cultivar named 'NE91-118' is distinguished from other commercially produced buffalograss varieties by its excellent turfgrass color, cold tolerance, high density, low growth habit, and rate of establishment. 'NE91-118' is also distinguished by molecular markers and nuclear DNA content. 'NE91-118' is suitable for use in low to medium maintenance situations in arid and semi-arid climates of United States and Canada.
