Medium texture mixture with intense green Festuca arundinacea and American ryegrass, designed for late summer overseeding in turfs based on dark Festuca arundinacea.

Ideal for new sowing in parks, roundabouts, public areas and/or surfaces with a lower budget without sacrificing the aesthetic and technical-functional aspect.

Suitable for the new sowing of heavily trampled playing fields such as rugby pitches.

At full maturity, it is dense, with a medium and uniform texture.

Tolerant towards Mal Bianco, Dollar Spot Red Thread and Microdochium nivale.

Composition:

30% Festuca arundinacea Rebounder

20% Festuca arundinacea Fatcat

20% Festuca arundinacea Inferno

30% Perennial ryegrass Benchmark/Thrive

The importance of fresh seeds

Using old seeds is a serious mistake that can completely compromise the success of your lawn. Old seeds germinate poorly and it will be very difficult to get the lawn to cover the ground without leaving easy space for weeds.

Advice:

Ground :

deep, draining, medium-textured, but also clayey and/or loose, with a pH that can range from alkalinity to sub-acidity

Sowing period:

from March to the beginning of November (skipping the months of maximum summer heat). The mixture takes 3 to 10 days to germinate depending on the temperature of the soil

(soil temperature above 12°C)

Recommended Dosage:

40-50 g/m2. The maximum doses are recommended in case of overseeding with high temperatures and/or imperfect tillage of the seed bed

Cut :

after overseeding, make the first cut when the grass reaches 6-8 cm and never remove more than 30% with each mowing. After 40 days from overseeding, if possible, reduce the mowing frequency to 2 times/week.

Nutrition:

phosphate fertilization with Biostart P 12.20.15 at sowing. Plan at least 2 fertilizations per year with at least 15 units of nitrogen m2/year. In annual management, avoid fertilizers with excessive phosphorus titrations to avoid the proliferation of Poa Annua

Irrigation :

When planting, keep the seedbed constantly moist so as not to stop the germination process. In the summer period, irrigate with 10 mm of water every 2-3 days

Phytostimulation:

plan 2 biostimulant treatments between July and August to increase tolerance to water stress and avoid retrogradation of the root system

Regeneration :

for overseeding it would be good practice to use specific equipment and machinery capable of burying the seed even in hard ground so that it can be born with regularity and uniformity. Then fertilize with Biostart P 12.20.15 according to the label instructions
