| | Lawn Grass Cultivar Selection |
 | | Turfgrass cultivars with resistance to diseases should also be included in the blend. |
 | | Consider the cultivar(s) present, percent germination, date of germination test, percentage of inert matter and weed seeds and, if mixed species, the ratio of the species. |
 | | Cultivars are evaluated based on color, quality, leaf texture, seedling vigor, cold hardiness, summer stress tolerance, disease and insect susceptibility, etc. The results are compiled for each cultivar, summarized, ranked and then published in yearly reports. |
