`RoadCrest' crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.] (Reg. no. CV-25, PI 606546), a rhizomatous cultivar, was developed by a research team at the USDA-ARS Forage and Range Research Laboratory, Utah State University, Logan, UT, and was released on 2 June 1998 in cooperation with the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. RoadCrest was evaluated as CWG-Rhizome.

RoadCrest was derived from two accessions originally collected at Dikmen Ankara and Guvercinlik Ankar...

Long-term harmful effects of crested wheatgrass on Great Plains grassland ecosystems.(Special Issue: Global Change & Terrestrial Ecosystems)
Journal of Soil and Water Conservation ; Invasions by exotic plants are occurring at an increasing rate and are considered a serious threat to both agricultural systems as well as native communities (Drake et al. 1989). Many of the most harmful exotics in North America were introduced intentionally (Ruesink et al. 1995, Williams 1980).
Breeding CWG-R crested wheatgrass for reduced-maintenance turf.(Turfgrass Science)
Crop Science ; SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPE ACREAGE that has been planted to high-maintenance turf could be replaced with low-maintenance turf species or cultivars (Wu and Harivandi, 1988). Low-maintenance turf is a relative term describing areas that receive reduced or no inputs of irrigation, fertilizer, herbicides,
Genetic variances of agronomic and morphological traits of diploid crested wheatgrass.
Crop Science ; Crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertner, A. desertorum Fisch. ex Link, and other taxa] is grown extensively throughout the northern Great Plains of the USA. This grass exists naturally at the diploid (2n = 2x = 14), tetraploid (2n = 4x = 28), and hexaploid (2n = 6x = 42) levels. Only
Carbon isotope discrimination, ash, and canopy temperature in three wheatgrass species.
Crop Science ; Soil water is a limiting factor in forage production for pastures, haylands, and rangelands in the semiarid Northern Great Plains. Conventional approaches to genetically improve dry matter production and WUE in water-limited environments have been effective but slow (Barker et al., 1989).
