A Blend That Excretes a Natural Herbicide!
Tri-Fescue Blend is a mix of three elite varieties of fescues developed and researched at world renowned facilities since 1998. Each variety of turf trails provided excellent results in all aspects of growing turf.DESCRIPTION:
Tri-Fescue Blend was created because of their unique and exclusive abilities for both endophyte and allelopathy (meta-tyrosine) qualities. For a superior seed mix to meet today’s demands the Tri-Fescue Blend will naturally take care of top feeding insects while excreting a natural herbicide into the soil that retards the germination of crabgrass and broadleaf weeds while limiting the root growth of weeds. The blend is an excellent combination for colour, quality, heat and drought tolerance, as well as disease resistance that is superior to nearly all commercially available varieties of Fescues.
NOT ALL FESCUES ARE CREATED THE SAME!
These improved cultivars are tested on lawns, golf course fairways and over seeding, have better stress and wear tolerance. The Tri-Fescue Blend has the natural ability of allelopathy which is the excreting of a natural herbicide into the soil that retards the germination of crabgrass and broadleaf weeds while limiting the root growth of weeds. Remember, when you use improved cultivars such as the Tri-Blend, you reduce your maintenance.
USAGE:
Tri-Blend Fescue mix is versatile for all conditions found on the golf course, parks, home lawns and commercial applications. This blend is well suited for acidic soils, shady conditions, roadside salt from winter use, medium to high levels of fertility. It does particularly well in lower maintenance situations and to low mowing.
DISEASE RESISTANCE:
Tri-Blend Fescue mix has been evaluated for nearly all the common cool season turf diseases, with excellent results. They have demonstrated good to excellent resistance to a broad range of diseases including Leaf Spot, Red Thread, Dollar Spot, Summer Patch, Powdery Mildew, Brown Patch and Net Blotch.
SEEDING:
The Tri-Fescue Blend has approximately 450,000 seeds/ lb., and should be seeded at about 4-6 lbs. / 1000 sq. ft. Under normal situations, seedling emergence can be expected in 5-12 days. Aeration should be done with it for improved germination during your regular mowings or when starting on open soil the first mowing can be done 24 to 35 days. Fall seeding is best, but spring seedlings are also acceptable. Dormant seedings in northern areas are also recommended when conditions are suitable.
To ensure the best performance in your already existing lawn, Tri-Fescue Blend should be over seeded regularly to change your lawn over to a majority of this blend to further reap the benefits and desired outcome.
