Johnsons 4Turf <p>Johnsons J 4Turf uses a tetraploid perennial rye-grass bred especially for rapid installation and stress tolerance. The tetraploid cultivars used in J 4Turf establish rapidly even under low soil temperatures and root deeply to assist with drought tolerance and disease resistance. The diploid cultivar in the mix delivers high shoot density and increased wear tolerance. </p> % Cultivar Species STRI Rating 25 Tetragame 4Turf Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass 5.5 25 Berlioz Perennial Ryegrass 7.2 25 Fabian 4Turf Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass 6.3 25 Columbine Perennial Ryegrass 7.4 All cultivars chosen in this mixture are independently tested and rated for performance by the Sports Turf Research Institute.

Thus it outperforms ordinary diploid ryegrasses. </p> Rapid installation <p>4TURF seeds are 1.5 times bigger than normal turf grasses. 4TURF produces stronger seedlings with faster establishment, resulting in less chances for the establishment of weeds. Thus 4TURF is the perfect oversowing choice for perennial ryegrass applications. 4TURF is very well suited for oversowing Bermuda in the transition zone resulting in a fast establishment and excellent turf quality but no more clippings. </p> Better disease resistance and stress tolerance <p>4TURF has an improved disease resistance, both under warm and cold conditions. In DLF trials from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean it has proven to be more resistant against F.E. rust, Fusarium, Elminthosporium, Drechslera, and Red Thread. It is very well suited for extensive management conditions. </p> Good wear tolerance <p>In German trials 4TURF varieties Double and Tetragreen are rated 8 sport/wear conditions using a 1-9 score. The shear strength is enhanced due to the deeper root systems. </p> <p>Introduced in Pitchcare article Tee renovation strategies from DLF </p> <p> Disclaimer: Occasionally shortages of some varieties may occur, therefore we reserve the right to replace unavailable varieties with a suitable alternative.
