Perennial Ryegrass is the fastest establishing species of all the turf grasses. It prefers milder climates, but tolerates temperatures down to minus 16-18°C without snow cover. With a snow cover, ryegrass tolerates even lower temperatures. In temperate regions, Perennial Ryegrass is a true perennial with high persistence. It can be used on most soil types with the exception of very wet land. Perennial Ryegrass exists in early, intermediate and late types in respect to heading and spring growth. Perennial Ryegrass has very high wear tolerance due to fast regrowth of tillers and leaves. This makes the species an essential ingredient in mixtures for sports. It demands regular fertilisation and cutting.2011-06-08T13:29:21+02:00http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=26http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=262011-06-08T13:29:21+02:00http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=27http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=27Turf Varieties Red Fescue (Festuca rubra L.) Red Fescue is found in many natural green areas on nearly all types of soils and under widely varying moisture conditions. Red Fescue is relatively slow growing in the sowing year and has very fine needlelike leaves and a high shoot density. It thrives under a wide range of There are three types of Red Fescue for turf purposes: 1 Slender Creeping Red Fescue type – rubra trichophylla 2 Chewings Fescue type – rubra commutata 3 Strong Creeping Red Fescue type – rubra rubra 27 conditions but is notable for its tolerance to dry, rather poor soil.

Tall Fescue is one of the most drought, heat and wear tolerant species. Due to its large and deep root system, it is able to take up water in dry periods when other grasses have stopped their growth. This means that Tall Fescue stays green in dry summer periods and tolerates high temperatures. The leaf texture is rather coarse compared to other turf grasses, but new varieties have been much improved with narrow leaves. The leaf colour is normally dark green. In general, the disease tolerance is very high. establishment is not as quick as for Perennial Ryegrass and a high seeding rate is recommended.2011-06-08T13:29:21+02:00http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=32http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=3232 Turf Varieties BENT GRASSES VARIETY ARLeTTA DeNSO eGMONTWO JORVIK MANOR POLANA TIGeR NOVA LeGeNDARy VILLA 1 Cy 2 COBRA NOVA INDePeNDeNCe I KROMI SPECIES Browntop Bent Browntop Bent Browntop Bent Browntop Bent Browntop Bent Browntop Bent Browntop Bent Velvet Bent Velvet Bent Creeping Bent Creeping Bent Creeping Bent Creeping Bent LISTED/ RECOMMENDED IN NL,UK D,F,NL,PL,UK NL,UK D,NL,UK UK CZ,D,SK,UK UK CZ,UK CZ,UK CZ,D,UK CZ,UK D,I,N,UK By,CZ,DK,eST,HR,HU,LIT,RO,RU,SK,TR,UA Lowest score of character Highest score of character DENSITY FINENESS OF LEAVES NEW SALT TOLERANCE Browntop Bent (Agrostis capillaris L.-syn Agrostis tenuis Sibth.) Browntop Bent is used extensively on golf greens in mixtures with Red Fescue for low input purposes. It tolerates close mowing very well. The shoot density is high and it is very adaptable to changeable growing conditions. Velvet Bent (Agrostis canina) Velvet Bent is producing an exceptionally dense turf. It has, in general, a better drought tolerance compared to other bent grasses. The production of thatch needs to be controlled and fertilisation needs to be moderate. Creeping Bent (Agrostis stolonifera L.) The main use of Creeping Bent is on golf greens. This is due to the very high recuperative capacity and shoot density of the species, which makes it very adaptable to the close mowing regimes used on these areas. Creeping Bent can also be used in mixtures for very dense lawn mixtures due to its soft leaves and dense growth.

The breeding of Microclover for turf is a speciality from DLF-TRIFOLIUM. In general, mixtures with White Clover and fine grasses keep the lawn much greener and healthy without the application of nitrogen. Normal forage White Clover varieties are not suited and will not survive under regular mowing but the development of the new very small leaved varieties – Microclover – is a breakthrough in creating an environmentally friendly lawn, also suitable for close mowing. Turf Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) For hot and dry areas, turf type Alfalfa “AlfaTurf” is the perfect substitution or complement to Microclover. GReeNMeD is the first variety of AlfaTurf on the market. It is bred specifically for growth in association with grasses and to withstand frequent mowing. As for Microclover, AlfaTurf provides nitrogen and health to all constituents of the lawn, but also a strongly improved green appearance during drought.2011-06-08T13:29:21+02:00http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=33http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=33A lush green lawn Feel it Touch it Enjoy it2011-06-08T13:29:21+02:00http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=34http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=3434 Turf Varieties SMOOTH-STALkED MEADOW-GRASS VARIETY BALIN BROADWAy COCKTAIL CONNI eVORA GeISHA GeRONIMO GReeNPLAy HARMONIe JULIA JULIUS KAITOS MIRACLe MOZART 1 PANDURO PLATINI RHyTHM SOBRA SOMBReRO yVeTTe NEW LISTED/ RECOMMENDED IN By,CZ,RU,UA D,DK,F,HR,N,NL,PL,RU,S,UK CZ,D,DK,eST,F,FI,NL,SK,UK By,CN,CZ,D,DK,eST,F,FI,HR,HU,IS,LIT,N,PL,RU,S,SK,TR,UA,UK By,CZ,D,LU,PL,RU,SK,UK CZ,D CZ,D,eST,FI,HU,LIT,RU,TR CZ,D,NL,UK CZ,NL,SK,UK CZ,D,FI,N,NL,SK,UK CZ,D,FI,NL,SK,UK CZ,D,DK,NL,UK By,CZ,D,N,NL,PL,RU,SK,UA,UK D,F,NL,UK By,CZ,D,eST,HR,LIT,PL,RU,UK By,I,RO,RU D By,CZ,HU,IS,RU,S,UA D,UK D,F,N,NL,UK F * Colour: Light green Dark green DENSITY FINENESS OF LEAVES WEAR TOLERANCE COLOUR * NEW SALT TOLERANCE ZeDOR Lowest score of character Highest score of character Smooth-stalked Meadow-grass/kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) Poa pratensis is frequently found in the wild, in both mineral and humus rich soils in both northern and southern hemispheres. Fine-leaved varieties with excellent turf qualities have been selected. Poa pratensis is a persistent species with strong rhizomes and erect leafy shoots. Growth starts early in the spring and regrowth consists mainly of leafy material that can be mown very easily leaving a clean cut. Poa pratensis tolerates hard wear and because of its rhizomes, it can regenerate itself even if the field is badly damaged. Germination and establishment is slow. It is, however, drought tolerant and winter hardy. The heat tolerance of Poa pratensis is good which makes it a perfect partner in mixtures with Tall Fescue.

Forage types has broad leaves but recent breeding efforts has resulted in finer leaved types very suited for short lived purposes like overseeding on sports fields during wintertime or as nurse crop for fast establishment of turf mixtures. Turf Timothy (Phleum bertolonii DC.) Small leaved Timothy is used in cold, wet areas where it tolerates extremes better than other species. This is particularly true where plants will be subject to total submersion in winter. Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon L.) Bermuda Grass is the most popular warm-season grass with unbeatable heat and drought tolerance. It is more or less dormant in the winter. Dormancy is compensated with the help of coolseason grasses in the mixtures and eventually overseeding in the fall with fast establishing cool-season grasses. The persistency is excellent and spreading and self-repair promoted by the abundance of rhizomes and stolons.2011-06-08T13:29:21+02:00http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=36http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/DLF/DLFCOM/Corporate/SeedVarieties2011/?Page=36Good seed makes good sense It is our pleasure to present you with our portfolio of superior grass and legume varieties for both agricultural and amenity purposes, including forage, sports, lawns, parks, turf production, etc. It is very easy to determine the best variety for a particular use as the main characteristics of each single variety are rated.
