Introduction
Deep rooting capability, tolerant of both excessive water and drought. Unique rhizome production for the species, dense plant population for enhanced weed control with excellent soil/rootzone stabilization. Reduced fertilization requirements, good tolerance in or out of sun & shade, superb colour year round and high endophyte content for increased resistance to pests.
• Germination in 8 days or less, populates quickly
• Great for construction and renovation of soccer, football and rugby pitches, and residential lawns (from overseeding to natural turfgrass seeding: spread at soil temperatures min 12 deg C).
• Especially recommended for erosion control and for surface stabilization.
• Highly recommended for intense wear areas at sport field training grounds and academies, eg. goalkeepers’ grids, scrum practice grids.
What is RTF®:
Rhizomatous Tall Fescue (RTF®) is a new type of tall fescue, which produces rhizomes. A rhizome is an underground stem that travels through the soil to spread the plant underground and form new upright growth.
What makes RTF® unique:
Unlike other tall fescues, RTF has the ability to repair itself. Traditional tall fescue grasses will clump together, not filling in the bare spots which produces an uneven lawn. With bare spots, weeds are more apt to take over the lawn. What makes RTF unique is its ability to fill in these open areas with new plant growth.
RTF’s rapid germination ensures quick establishment of your new lawn. While overseeding an existing lawn, the quick germination allows RTF to compete successfully with the old turf, eliminating the clumps and bare spots.
