Buffalograss is used as a drought-tolerant turfgrass in North America and is also grown for forage. Turfgrass cultivars include '609', 'Prairie', 'Stampede', and 'Density', while 'Comanche' and 'Texoka' are intended for forage.[6] In addition, researchers at the University of California Riverside and University of California Davis have hybridized a buffalograss cultivar, 'UC Verde',[7] creating a thick, green, drought-tolerant lawn for California's hot, dry summers. Agricultural scientist at University of Nebraska developed Legacy as a turf grass variety.[8] Buffalo grass can be established from seeded cultivars, such as Cody, Bowie and Sundancer, or from vegetative cultivars like Legacy and Prestige.[9]
