Uses: USGA specification golf greens and bowling greens

Features: Very high quality turf for golf greens. Grown on a layer of USGA specification sand. It is top-dressed with the same material every two weeks to promote density and to control the development of thatch. Mown at a height of 6-7mm.

Details: Rootzone Turf was developed to eliminate the problem of incompatibility caused when turf grown on topsoil is laid onto a sandy rootzone. It is grown on a layer of USGA specification sand, and managed as if it were a golf green. The seed mixture used is 50% bent and 50% fescue, giving a predominately bent sward at maturity.

The first mowings after sowing are by hand mower at a height of 12mm, and then the triple greens mowers take over. The height is gradually reduced to 6-7mm to give a very dense sward. Top-dressing, using the same USGA sand, is applied every two weeks at 2kg per m2, and brushed in. The mature turf is virtually free of Poa annua.

Lifting of the turf takes place when it is approximately one year old. This is the perfect time to lift turf of this type. At this age the turf is strong enough to handle. And because of the regular top-dressing, thatch has not been allowed to accumulate.
