GROUNDSFEST SHOW PREVIEW
SUSTAINABLE SEED
GUARANTEED
AS DLF RETURN TO GROUNDSFEST – STAND 30
Sustainable seed solutions for lawns and landscapes are set to be showcased as the world ’ s largest grass seed breeders , DLF , return to GroundsFest . Stand 30 will be the platform for visitors to find out more about mixtures across the Masterline , MM and Johnsons Sports Seed brands , alongside the very best the industry has to offer in both native and non-native wild flowers .
In many aspects of modern life , we are encouraged to be mindful of our impact on the environment – and this is certainly the case for turf managers across the sporting and amenity spectrum . Those looking to reduce inputs , without detriment to turf quality and performance can improve credentials through careful seed selection , such as opting for mixtures containing Microclover ®. Visitors to GroundsFest can find out more about DLF ’ s Ecosward mixtures – specifically blended to reduce input costs and be kind to the environment by eliminating the need for excessive fertiliser , water and herbicide .
Incorporating 5 % Microclover ®, both PM26 Ecosward and PM27 Ecosward Plus from the Masterline range offer low-maintenance yet tolerant and visually attractive swards , ideal for landscape applications .
For those maintaining sports turf , thoughts are turning to autumn renovations , where speed of establishment is key . The larger seed and improved genetic vigour of DLF ’ s 4turf ® tetraploid variety ensure fast germination and establishment in cooler temperatures , together with demonstrating increased tolerance to stresses such as cold , drought and a range of common turf diseases . 4turf ® is incorporated into a number of popular autumn mixtures for sports turf , including J 4Turf 50 and J 4Turf 100 from the Johnsons Sports Seed collection .
The DLF technical team will be on hand to discuss the vast array of popular sports and landscape mixtures , together with the popular Pro Flora and ColourBoost wildflower ranges . DLF have significantly increased in-house production facilities during 2024 to meet the growing demand for conservation mixtures and promising greater capacity to support biodiversity projects . With over 25 mixtures available across the two collections , there ’ s something to suit all facilities and environments – whether the objective is native origin colour and interest , or high impact dazzling displays !
