EXCEPTIONAL HIGH DISEASE RESISTANCE Turf diseases are the nightmare of every turf manager. 4turf® varieties are a powerful defence against the risk of severe disease and damage. They are proven to have a high resistance to Microduchium patch, red thread, rust and brown patch diseases. EXCELLENT COLD TOLERANCE Improved energy reserves within 4turf® give you green ground cover throughout the darkest period of the year. During the winter season, 4turf® shows improved winter hardiness and a high resistance to winter diseases. Trials from Scandinavia show that 4turf® has superior winter hardiness, and ranked number one for general turf quality in the independent and official SCANTURF trials. WINTER COLOR AND SURVIVAL OF RYEGRASSES Index 110 105 100 95 90 85 Diploid perennial ryegrass 4turf® Winter color index Winter damage index IMPROVED TURF GROWTH IN SALINE CONDITIONS Saline environments are becoming more common. Whether salt comes from the soil, sea spray or irrigation, 4turf® is proven to be significantly more salt tolerant than standard diploid perennial ryegrass. This is a useful attribute as clean irrigation water becomes a scarce resource. ENHANCED NITROGEN UPTAKE 4turf® grass leaves are a deeper green colour because they have an improved cell structure and are more efficient at photosynthesis. Better colour and increased root mass allow 4turf® to take up nitrogen more efficiently. 4turf® needs less nitrogen fertiliser, which is good for the environment and a cost saving for turf managers.
