Tifway 419 Bermuda
Tifway 419 has been the most popular sports turf for the last 40 years. Its dense, rapidly spreading growth habit means quick recovery from injury, making it one of the most durable hybrid Bermudas. Tifway 419 tolerates close mowing and is highly disease resistant. Tifway was selected and tested cooperatively by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station, and the U. S. and Southern Golf Associations. It is a chance hybrid between Cynodon transvaalensis and C. dactylon. It is characterized as having a dark green color with medium fine textured leaves. Tifway 419 is dense with a medium to low growth habit, it is a vigorous grower and establishes quickly.
Tifway 419 starts growth earlier in the spring than most bermuda grass. It is also more frost resistant and will, therefore, remain greener later in the fall. Tifway makes a very dense sod and is more weed resistant than most bermuda grasses. Tifway 419 has short seed stalks that bear heads with light reddish anthers, Like other similar hybrids, it sheds no pollen—a desirable trait for people allergic to bermudagrass pollen. Since Tifway 419 never produces seed, it must be propagated by planting sprigs or installing sod.
Tifway 419 is well adapted throughout the southern United States and grows best in warm climates. It has survived moderate winters as far north as Maryland.
