Narrative
Dark green, fine textured perennial ryegrass with a prostrate growth habit. Exhibits excellent turf quality in trials throughout the U.S. and has shown resistance to stem rust, red thread, leaf spot (Drechslera dictyoides), pink snow mold (Microdochium nivale), and rhizoctonia blight (Rhizoctoni solani). Developed for turf uses and is recommended for sports fields and lawns in temperate areas, where it may be used as a monostand, in blends with other turf-type perennial ryegrasses, or in mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), or fine-leaved fescues (Festuca spp.). Highly recommended for the winter overseeding of dormant bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) on golf course fairways, tees, and greens, and roughs, sports fields, and lawns. Low growth habit and dark color reduce mowing and fertilization frequency required for excellent turf performance during the growing season.
