Fowler Germplasm is a new pre-variety germplasm release of green needlegrass (Nassella viridula (Trin.) Barkworth [Poaceae]) developed by artificial selection from 5 local populations collected in southern Alberta. Selection emphasis was placed on seed yield and germinability. This plant material is expected to be used for restoration and wildlife habitat enhancement projects in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
