Overview

Long, dry summers place extreme stress on turfgrass systems—and on your water budget.

TifTuf® Bermudagrass was developed through rigorous drought-screening research to deliver exceptional performance under deficit irrigation. This fine-textured, dense, bright-green cultivar demonstrates up to 38% lower water use compared to other bermudagrass varieties, maintaining canopy integrity and color with significantly reduced inputs.

Engineered for improved physiological drought tolerance, TifTuf® sustains photosynthetic activity and retains green color further into the cool season, reducing reliance on overseeding or supplemental watering. Its tight growth habit, rapid establishment, and high traffic resilience make it a reliable choice for golf courses, sports fields, commercial landscapes, and water-conscious residential sites throughout the Southwest.
