Stover Pro Sportsfield Saline

Pro Sportsfield Saline
Professional Turfgrass Mixture


A mixture of three elite perennial ryegrass varieties that have been naturally bred for salt tolerance and Transcontinental improved bermudagrass. The ryegrass varieties in this mixture have demonstrated tolerance as high as 10,000 ppm salinity with plant survival ranging from 78 to 80 percent.


FEATURES:	BENEFITS:

Salt tolerance	Tolerates effluent water or moderate salinity conditions
High density seeded bermudagrass	Improved traffic tolerance
Fine texture	Outstanding turf quality of seeded bermudagrasses
Dark blue-green color	Less fertilizer needed
High endophyte level	High resistance to above ground insects
Better heat and drought tolerance	Improved summer performance
Improved mowability	Reduced leaf shredding during mowing
Rye & Bermuda combination	All year playability and green color

High traffic areas including:
Golf Courses, Sportsfields, Cemetaries, Parks, Commercial developments, Residential lawns

Because of its improved texture and density, "Pro Sportsfield Saline" may be seeded into established stands of seeded bermuda and some hybrid bermudas to improve overall performance.


New turf: 10-12 pounds per 1000 square feet (400-500 pounds per acre). Overseeding: 7-10 pounds per 1000 square feet (300-400 pounds per acre).


Germination: 6-12 days with proper irrigation. First mowing: Approximately 21 days. First limited use: Approximately 30 days.


Climatic Conditions: All (except high altitude) Soils: Sandy to heavy clay. Not good for extremely wet or shaded areas. pH range: 5.5 to 8.5 Fertilization: 4 to 5 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000 sq ft per year. Use a balanced fertliizer with a 3:1:2 ratio of NPK with sulphur. Mowing height: 1/2 to 1-1/4 inches in cool seasons, 1-1/2 to 2 inches in warm seasons.
