GROUNDSFEST
MM Seed at the DLF Stand at GroundsFest
The DLF stand at GroundsFest will highlight a wide range of sustainable solutions from the world’ s largest grass seed breeder, featuring products from the MM, Designer Seed brands.
Alongside leading cultivars for sports and amenity turf, stand thirty will also display an array of colour with demonstration planters from the popular Pro Flora and Colour Boost wildflower ranges.
As autumn renovation programmes begin, DLF’ s 4turf ® tetraploid technology will be a key focus on the stand.
Key benefits of 4turf ®:
• Larger, more vigorous seeds support rapid germination and establishment, even in cooler conditions.
• Improved resilience helps turf withstand cold, drought and salt stress.
• Strong disease resistance, backed by excellent European trial results against red thread, brown patch, fusarium and grey leaf spot.
• Enhanced sward quality makes it particularly effective for cooler-season overseeding.
Together, these benefits help deliver high-quality playing surfaces while reducing input and labour costs.
4turf ® is included in several popular autumn mixtures for sports turf, such as MM Tetrasport.
Another key focus will be wildflowers and their growing importance in land and amenity turf management. They provide essential food and habitat for pollinators and wildlife. DLF’ s Pro Flora native-origin wildflower range includes 17 formulations, each designed to enhance colour, biodiversity and interest across a wide variety of environments.
For a striking display, visitors may consider mixtures from the Colour Boost collection, which combines both wildflower and garden flowering species that provide a bright display of colour that will also attract pollinators and insects.
The DLF technical team will be available throughout the twoday event on Stand 30 in Hall1 to offer technical advice and answer questions.
