TIFTON 85
Varieties
TIFTON 85 was released by the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station in 1992. A new hybrid Bermuda grass, it averaged 26% more dry matter and was 11% more digestible than Coastal in small plot tests. It has outperformed Coastal and Tifton 78 in replicated grazing trials. To date it has not been extensively tested in North Carolina. Winter hardiness is undetermined but appears to be no greater than Tifton 78.
