New sports mixtures from DLF Trifolium

€7m-worth of R&D by DLF Trifolium has seen the creation of microclovers, now incorporated into the company's new MicroClover Sports Mixture.

Part of the Pro Range of amenity mixtures, the new product is claimed - when sown in a turf mixture - to produce great results where once clover was seen as a problem in grass swards.

Microclover types have a compact growth and blend well with the sward, giving a dense and grassy look.

Clover fixes nitrogen and so feeds the grass without the need for added fertiliser. Companion grasses are selected for their slow re-growth, dark colour and disease resistance.

Together with excellent drought tolerance, the mixture offers an environmental alternative with the reduced need for both nitrogen and water. The healthy and dense growth pattern helps to crowd out weeds and prevent new ones establishing, meaning a need for less herbicides.

Also available - and similarly part of the Pro Range - is the new All Weather Sports Mixture.

This combines ryegrass, smooth stalked meadow grass and new turf type tall fescue which has been purpose bred for the amenity market to produce a dense but very fine turf which benefits from a strong root system binding the root zone.

The company says the mixture is great for those seeking long term drought tolerance or the ability to cope well under stress situations - including water logged conditions - plus very good appearance.
