Editing Cynodon dactylon (section)

==Cultivation==
''Cynodon dactylon'' is widely cultivated in warm climates all over the world between about 30° S and 30° N latitude, and that get between {{convert|625|and|1750|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rainfall a year (or less, if irrigation is available). For example, in the United States, it is grown mostly in the [[Southern United States|southern half]] of the country.

===Cultivars===
Hundreds of cultivars have been created specifically for environmental tolerance and stakeholder requirements. New cultivars are released yearly.<ref>Shi H, Wang Y, Cheng Z, Ye T, Chan Z.
