Riviera
Bermudagrass Variety Description
U. S. Protected Variety
Can be sold only as a class of Certified Seed
Riviera is a synthetic variety developed from
three parental plants and released by the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment
Station with an exclusive license to Johnston Seed Company, Enid, OK. Riviera
produces a moderately fine-textured, medium dark green turf with excellent turf
quality. It appears to have adequate
resistance or tolerance to the major pests of bermudagrass, particularly in the
U.S.
transition zone. It is sufficiently
cold-hardy to be used in parts of the U. S. transition zone between
warm-season and cool-season turfgrasses with minimal risk. Commercial plants of Riviera must be established by planting
either certified seed or certified sod
(or sprigs). Certified sod (or sprigs)
must be produced from a field planted with foundation seed.
