Sustainable seed solutions from DLF

October 11, 2022/in News, Press Release/by Louise Challiss

Sustainable seed solutions from DLF: DLF are putting sustainable and environmental solutions under the spotlight as they return to SALTEX this November on stand J052.

With predictions that drought conditions like those experienced this summer will become a more frequent occurrence, species such as tetraploid perennial ryegrass and clover will likely become key weapons in every turf managers armoury to maintain sward health and density during prolonged periods of hot and dry weather.

In attempts to repair and recover surfaces during the cooler season, the increased energy reserves of DLF’s 4turf^®tetraploid perennial ryegrass demonstrates exceptional germination at temperatures as low as 4^oc. The strong, fast establishment and healthy plant development is backed up with a larger root system meaning 4turf^®surfaces are more tolerant to drought and a range of other environmental stresses.

In European trials, 4turf^® demonstrated exceptional resistance to disease – including Brown Patch -during the autumn and winter months as well as increased resistance to weed invasion due to its rapid establishment, reducing the need for costly fungicide and herbicide applications. The sustainable credentials of 4turf^®, together with its wear-tolerant properties, has seen its inclusion in a number of Johnsons Sports Seed mixtures popular with football clubs including J4Turf and, the new mixture for 2022, J Premier 4Turf.

For spring renovations – and of particular interest for local authorities, sports grounds and gardens – could be self-sustaining clover. The unique root nodules on clover are capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into a gradual supply of natural fertiliser, resulting in sustained growth. Microclover, a smaller-leaved dwarf white clover, is incorporated into Masterline’s PM82 Microclover Sport mixture, blended to improve turf quality whilst being kinder to the environment thanks to its reduced requirements for herbicide, fungicide and fertiliser.

The DLF technical team will be on hand to discuss formulations from across the Johnsons Sports Seed, MM Seed and Masterline ranges, in addition to the Pro Flora wild flower and Colour Boost amenity flower collections. More than 25 wild flower mixtures are available, suited to a range of renovation and landscaping projects, each guaranteed to bring biodiversity and enhanced visual impact to amenity and agricultural spaces.

Price Turfcare at SALTEX: Price Turfcare, the UK and Ireland distributor of the Ventrac multi-implement, all-terrain compact tractor, returns to SALTEX with a new, bespoke stand for this year’s event.

“We’re trying something slightly different this year,” said Managing Director Rupert Price, “which will provide more impact and allow us to have more attachments on the stand. We will be exhibiting the new Ventrac 4520 compact tractor unit at SALTEX, so for some industry professionals it will be their first opportunity to see the new machine. It’s not a radical change in appearance, but there’s a whole series of improvements ‘under the bonnet’ resulting in 30% more available power, giving the best mix of machine performance, operator experience and durability.

“The atmosphere at the show last year, the first after the pandemic, was very positive and, hopefully, will be the same again this year. From a standing start in 2017, Ventrac has become a credible brand in just six short years with more and more groundscare professionals appreciating the versatility inherent in the product. We’re really looking forward to seeing customers, prospects and former colleagues at what is one of the premier shows for the UK groundscare sector.”
