I want to find a turf species/cultivar that is resistant to a recurring issue that I have with diagnosed leaf spot/melting out. It seems that it will have to be a cultivar of KGB; I am mostly satisfied with my mostly Barenbrug Turf Star RPR lawn, so I would like to just overseed, rather than do any type of reno. I'd like to find cultivars that will blend in with my PRG, so nothing too dark.
I've spent some time on the NTEP site, but I am not having much success with my research. I'm used to inputting search parameters, such as color, resistance to specific diseases, etc., and digging into the results, but don't see any way to do this. I would never ask (nor want) anyone to do my research for me, but would appreciate any hints about the use of the NTEP site. Can anyone wind me up and point me in the right direction?
Tanks!

About 80% Barenbrug Turfstar RPR by now. This is the color I'd like to match with a leaf spot/melting out resistant KBG.

Go to next year’s trials at your local location. That’s the best advice I can give.

Summer. I sent a sample to Purdue who confirmed leaf spot melting out.
