Memorial Bentgrass
Memorial Creeping bentgrass is a medium-fine leaved, medium-dark green bentgrass with improved dollar spot resistance. Memorial is an outstanding creeping bentgrass for golf course tees, fairways and putting greens. It's an excellent choice for overseeding into existing bentgrass tees and fairways. Breed at Rutgers University for a fine texture and excellent density, plus improved dollar spot performance, Memorial will compliment and improve "older generation" creeping bentgrass varieties. In addition, it is also ideal for improving turf quality and enhancing disease resistance in blends.
It is an ideal variety for use in golf greens, tees and in blends for fairways. Memorial Bentgrass has a medium to fine leaf texture with a medium to dark green colour. Its improved resistance to Dollar Spot and Brown Patch aids in the reduction of fungicide applications which helps reduce associated maintenance costs.
A sowing rate of 5-7 g/m2 or 50 -70 kg/ha is recommended to a depth of no more than 5mm deep. A light rake of a cultivated surface will create a seed bed and a gentle roll following seeding will ensure good soil to seed contact, which is required to achieve successful establishment. The seedbed must be kept moist by irrigation applications, the frequency of which should correspond with weather factors such as temperature, wind and cloud cover. The surface should be rolled to firm the surface prior to the first mowing taking place, solid rollers are advised to minimise plant injury. The first mowing should not remove more than one third of the total leaf blade, so for greens to be cut at 5mm the sward height must not be more than 15mm in length.
