Description
MM50 Grass Seed
Ideal for extreme wear areas, the cultivars used in this seed mix are fast to establish and are extremely resilient. This enables rapid recovery from damage on playing surfaces and tolerance of close mowing. The Perennial Rye-grass cultivars used produce a dense sward which is able to be cut cleanly. The cultivars are disease resistant and maintain good colour year round.

- Stones & weeds are removed.
- There is sufficient drainage.
- The surface is level and firm.
- The surface is moist.
- Sow the seeds evenly, using the correct sowing rate to a depth of approximately 10 mm.
- Ensure that the surface remanins moist for at least 2 - 3 weeks.
- Make the first cut when the grass is 5 - 6 cm tall and tillering has started.
Overseeding Guidance
- Prepare the existing turf by removing excess thatch and limiting irrigation and fertilisation.
- Apply using the correct overseeding rate.
- For best results use a disc seeder or a studded seed roller.

I trialled Limagrain's MM50 last year throughout the three sites which consists of approximately 27 courts. We did this because I wanted to see the reaction of the seed on different conditions. There are a lot of micro climates around here and it enabled us to see how the seed responded in a tournament situation, and also from a club and a professional use.
The results I got back from the trials revealed to me that it was absolutely a no-brainer to continue to use MM50 across all three sites.
