The science behind TifTuf

TifTuf’s journey started in 1992 when it was one of 27,700 experimental bermudagrass genotypes planted out by the University of Georgia. In 1999 this group was reduced to the 90 most promising genotypes.

After proving to be so promising in the initial drought stress trials further testing was undertaken. The trials were expanded to several of America’s leading universities.

After 25 years of testing TifTuf has proven to be far superior to other grasses in the tests. Especially showing to have far lower water use and superior quality and colour during drought stress.

Since genetic purity is crucial for premium turfgrass varieties, the entire foundation stock of TifTuf was painstakingly bred from a single plant. This has ensured absolute genetic purity of all TifTuf Bermuda turf.
