Features & Benefits

  • All four Barenbrug-bred cultivars bring advantages and different characteristics to this product.
  • Barzico is an elite variety for medium-fine turf under wear traffic. It is ranked #3 on Table S1 and within the top third on L1 in BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2026. 
  • Barpersie is a recent addition to EXTREME. A high performing, all round variety. Ranked #9 on Table S1 and #2 in Table L1 in BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2026. This new variety combines exceptional wear tolerance and recovery with fineness of leaf and density; its mean score of 8.9 as a new cultivar in Table G4 is groundbreaking. 
  • Baradona offers outstanding all-round wear tolerance, shoot density, and aesthetics. With a mean score 7.4 in Tables S1 and L1 of Turfgrass Seed 2026, it is one of the few cultivars to hold top-30 high rankings in both lists. 
  • Barsignum is an exceptional ryegrass for summer sports use. Its use in both Ultrafine and SGT products shows its versatility in turf management. 
  • Cricket squares and outfields, tennis courts and high-traffic lawns are perfect examples of where this grass seed mix is at home.
  • If fineness of leaf or tolerance to very close mowing are the driving factors in product selection, ULTRAFINE 100is recommended as a possible alternative.

Yes. Extreme is suitable for overseeding, as well as devoting and new construction work.
It is a 100% perennial ryegrass blend formulated for high-wear situations and fast establishment, making it a practical option where durability and recovery are important.
No, although it is ideal for sports and professional turf, it is also suitable for other high-traffic grass areas where wear tolerance is important.

Based on the recommended sowing rates, a 20 kg bag covers approximately:

  • 400–800 m² for new sowing.
  • 667–1,000 m² for overseeding.

Coverage depends on the application rate used.

Spring and early autumn generally provide suitable conditions, when the soil is warm and moisture is available. Avoid sowing during frost or very hot, dry weather, and allow enough time for seedlings to establish before winter. Ground conditions are more important than a fixed calendar date.
