AB A selected germplasm of slender grama (Bouteloua repens (Kunth) Scribn. & Merr. [Poaceae]) was released for rangeland reseeding, highway rights-of-way plantings, and wildlife habitat enhancement plantings in southern Texas. Dilley Germplasm slender grama is a blend of 5 accessions selected from evaluation at multiple sites in southern Texas. Accessions comprising the release are increased from the original collection of a native population to maintain the genetic integrity of each accession. Dilley Germplasm slender grama has shown consistent early emergence and establishment in rangeland plantings and is highly competitive with several problematic exotic grass species.
