DLF focus on ‘prevention rather than reaction’ for winter overseeding
Following a year of extreme weather conditions, a stop by the DLF stand, J100 at SALTEX, will be a must for Turf Managers preparing for autumn and winter overseeding operations. DLF Seeds market leading amenity and sport turf mixtures, from both the Johnson's Sport Seeds and Masterline portfolios, will ensure turf professionals achieve great results every time.
When it comes to winter overseeding, the aim should be
preventative, rather than reactionary. Ideal for a pre-winter
programme, Johnsons J 4Turf has been rated top in European turf
trials for disease resistance. DLF's 4Turf tetraploid ryegrass
cultivars are of particular interest to groundsman looking for
mixtures that are hard wearing, germinate quickly and offer extreme
winter hardiness. 4Turf tetraploids develop a stronger and deeper
rooting system which also improves the efficiency in which
nutrients, including Nitrogen, are utilised. Along with a number of
other Johnsons Sports Seed mixtures, J 4Turf is available with
DLF's ProNitro® nitrogen seed coating, for significantly
stronger and faster establishment.
If winter conditions are particularly extreme and cause loss of the turf surface, it is critical to re-seed quickly to prevent further damage. Johnsons J Rescue 100 is designed especially for winter overseeding. It incorporates next-generation turf type annual ryegrass Quickston, which delivers fast low-temperature establishment, down to 3 degrees. Quickston has a significantly finer leaf and darker colour than traditional annual ryegrass cultivars, having been bred to blend more effectively with traditional diploid ryegrasses.
DLF's Technical Product Managers will be on hand to discuss other products from the Johnsons Sports Seed and Masterline ranges, both of which utilise DLF cultivars and breeding technology.
