Utilising sustainable grass technology (SGT) delivering grass requiring reduced water, fertiliser and chemical inputs..
SGT stands for “Sustainable Grass Technology” – Barenbrug’s research-driven concept designed to deliver outstanding turf performance in high stress conditions with reduced fertiliser, chemical and water inputs.**
- Drought and disease tolerance, and superior colour
- Barprium for fine-leaf grass with proven capacity for nitrogen-use efficiency
☑ Tees ☑ Fairways ☑ Roughs
USAGE
Overseeding, divoting and construction of medium-fine turf areas across a range of soil types.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Barenbrugs innovative mixture of four grass species. The “driver” of the mixture is Barprium perennial ryegrass. An outstanding fine-leafed ryegrass with proven capacity for nitrogen-use efficiency; put simply, it requires far less nitrogen (up to 50% less) to deliver equivalent turf performance.
Barprium is highly ranked with a mean score of 7.6 on Table L1 and exhibits strong Summer colour, another useful characteristic for low-input golf fairways.
The fine fescue cultivars are chosen for their sustainable performance characteristics also. In trials at Landlab in Italy, Hardtop hard fescue and Barjessica strong creeping red fescue perform particularly well in periods of heat and drought.
Barprium is highly ranked in the BSPB/STRI Turfgrass Seed 2021 booklet with a mean score of 7.6 on Table L1 and exhibits strong summer colour – another useful characteristic for low-input golf fairways.
The fine fescue cultivars in the mix are chosen for their sustainable performance characteristics also. In trials at Landlab in Italy, Hardtop hard fescue and Barjessica strong creeping red fescue perform particularly well in periods of heat and drought. Figure 2 shows data from the harsh summer of 2018, in comparison with other fine fescue cultivars. The turf quality of hard fescue stood alone during the most intense heat and the recovery capacity of Barjessica was exceptional.
