DLF-TRIFOLIUM is grass supplier to the majority of the Danish superliga stadiums, including the stadiums in herning, Viborg, Aalborg and Aarhus. Thanks to our research activities, our portfolio of grass seed contains varieties with the best characteristics for sports fields. From our portfolio we have handpicked varieties for the Masterline mixtures that form the basis of the pitches. The Masterline mixtures contain wear tolerant and fast establishing ryegrass varieties and are specially formulated for overseeding on football pitches with hard wear. The good experience with the grass from last year’s championship in South Africa have resulted in the development of a new Masterline mixture for the Danish market. This mixture is particularly suited to repair wear and winter damage on the football pitch, e.g. in the goal area. - We have combined the best of the two grass species - Perennial Ryegrass and westerwold. The specific benefit of westerwold is that it germinates and establishes faster than Perennial Ryegrass - even at lower temperatures. This makes it ideal for early repair of winter damage. with AxCEllA, the bare patches are faster reestablished and afterwards the permanent and durable general ryegrass takes over. - we are overseeding the pitches 6-7 times during the season. The recent overseeding was conducted in early May with Masterline, and the grass looks absolutely perfect,” says groundsman at Herning Stadium, Anders Nielsen. Herning Stadium will host the matches between spain, England and Ukraine in the first round as well as the semifinal on June 22nd. INFO BREEDINg sAlEs CAsEs
