A significant improvement over common bermudagrass, Del Sol will produce a dark green turf of medium-fine texture. Because of its improved turf characteristics, Del Sol can be mowed at lower mowing heights without scalping.

Del Sol is the product of years of turfgrass research. Developed by Dr. Judy Brede at the Arizona Research Station, Del Sol is the product of cross breeding multiple clonal selections which exhibited desirable characteristics for bermudagrass turf. Clones which expressed superior performance attributes were chosen as the potential material which became “Del Sol”.

FEATURES:
Medium fine texture/dark green color
Excellent density
Superior drought tolerance
Low in thatch
Reduced plant height
Stunt mite resistance

BENEFITS:
Improved overall appearance
Increased durability and wear tolerance
Low water requirement
Lower mowing heights with less scalping
Reduced mower clippings
Improved pest resistance

A combination of overall turf appearance with improved durability make Del Sol an ideal choice for: Sportsfields, Parks/Playgrounds, Cemetaries, GolfCourses - fairways & roughs, Home Lawns, Erosion Control
Del Sol is ideal in mixtures with Perennial Ryegrass such as “Pro Sportsfield Elite”.

To determine whether a cultivar's performance is truly different from another, subtract one entry's mean from another entry's mean. If this value is larger than the LSD value, the observed difference in cultivar performance is significant and did not happen by chance. Complete tables available upon request or contact www.ntep.org
