Fastest establishment - Grass à la minute!

Grass à la minute! Barenbrug's very fastest annual ryegrass: SOS! SOS is the Usain Bolt among ryegrass mixtures. With the very fastest establishment, its popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. Useful for renovating and restoring grass fields in winter, for example. Overseeding with SOS even guarantees grass establishment of at least 60% within a month. That is no less than 18 days faster than standard mixtures. Super handy in an emergency!

Overseeding at low temperatures

Of course, you want to be able to start overseeding as soon as possible after winter. But unfortunately, this is impossible for most grass mixtures. In contrast, SOS can be overseeded from a soil temperature of 6°C. For sports fields, this means that clubs normally have to shift staffing levels. SOS puts an end to this, as sowing SOS at the right time, as early as late winter, guarantees a high-quality turf. And it is not only beneficial for sports fields. It is also super nice for lawns! So you can enjoy a green and even lawn as soon as the weather is favourable.

Extend the playing season for sports fields?

The playing season depends on the condition of your fields. And extending the playing season is, of course, no mean feat. Because most grass mixtures do not germinate at low soil temperatures. With the SOS mixture, you can start sowing at the end of winter or right at the beginning of spring. This allows the field to maintain a good grass cover longer and better. This also means that fields can be played on more intensively than when using a standard overseeding/restoration mixture. So the playing season can really be extended! With SOS, you can get back on the pitch earlier and continue playing for longer, sometimes up to 100 hours more playing time per year.

Prevent weeds such as street grass

Do you have a bare spot in your lawn or sports field? Then of course you want to fix it as soon as possible. And especially when the temperature starts to rise above freezing again. You want to get ahead of all those weeds and street grass. And with the SOS mixture, you can! Street grass and weeds only germinate at a soil temperature of 8-10 degrees. SOS, on the other hand, germinates as early as 6 degrees soil temperature. This means that all those weeds and street grasses no longer have a chance to rear their heads if you are quick with the SOS mixture. So you literally don't let any (other) grass grow! Moreover, thanks to the rapid establishment, you will have an even turf again without bare patches after only two weeks.

What is the Yellow Jacket coating?

More and more grass seed mixtures are made with a coating; so is this Play & Sport mixture. This mixture has a 50% coating. The coating simply flows away with water and then adheres to the grains of sand. This turns a hydrophobic soil into a hydrophilic soil. In other words, instead of the soil repelling water, the coating causes it to attract water. This improves the water balance and water-holding capacity of the soil around the seed. It thus becomes a survival zone, so to speak. In this way, growing conditions are optimised, ensuring a vital and fast-developing grass plant.

Another advantage is that the coating prevents birds from finding it attractive.
