Browntop and bentgrasses are highly suitable for golf greens, tee boxes and elite amenity areas due to their shoot density and tolerance to low mowing. These species show true fineness of leaf even when mown below 5 mm.
A+, a mixture of a Penn A bentgrass and Pure Eclipse, combines the strengths of two of the most proven bentgrass varieties creating a blend with broad genetic diversity that will produce the highest quality putting surface. A+ delivers a striking dark green colour and fine leaf texture that produces a beautiful playing surface.
• Great resistance to red leaf spot
• Good disease resistance
• Great spring green-up
• Dark green colour
• High density
Arrowtown is an elite browntop, being significantly finer and denser than Egmont, Manor and Sefton browntop. Arrowtown recovers rapidly from renovation and is an excellent choice for golf greens. Arrowtown has good year-round quality and is best suited to closer mown, high maintenance situations such as greens, tees and fairways.
Macdonald creeping bentgrass is a high quality turfgrass for greens and was developed for high resistance to many diseases including Dollar Spot, Anthracnose, Brown Patch and Pink Snow mould.
The fineness and density of Manor browntop produces putting greens of outstanding quality. It displays a light green colour which aids the masking of Poa annua present in a sward. Manor browntop can be used for greens, tees, fairways and roughs and is also a good choice for low or high maintenance lawns where superior quality is desired.
Penn A-1 creeping bentgrass displays a very dark green colour along with a fine leaf texture. It has outstanding heat and cold tolerances, very good winter colour and quick spring green up. Penn A-1 has good disease resistance and forms a dense sward. It is suited to golf course putting surfaces but can also be used on tees and fairways.
Pure Distinction is the latest advanced bentgrass from Pure-Seed Testing. It has a rich heritage that includes legendary Penncross and the groundbreaking Penn A’s and G’s. Uniquely bright green coloured, Pure Distinction takes the attributes of these bents – dense, upright, and aggressive growth, less thatch and easy maintenance – to the next level.
Tillinghast creeping bentgrass shows superior resistance to Dollar Spot (caused by Clarireedia jacksonii), Brown Patch (caused by Rhizoctonia solani) and Pink Snow Mould (Microdochium nivale). In addition, it shows excellent resistance to Anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale) and Pythium Root Rot.
• High resistance to poa annua invasion
• Early spring green up
• High density
• Fine textured with a medium-dark green colour
• Excellent turf quality for close mown putting greens
• Superior resistance to Dollar Spot, Brown Patch and Pink Snow Mould
• Excellent resistance to Anthracnose and Pythium Root Rot
