The right seeds should be part of any strategy to reduce the impact of drought on grass swards for cutting and grazing.

While we may be heading towards the traditionally cooler and winter months, the changing climate means that Turf Managers are not only having to consider the immediate pressures – but those likely to lay ahead as spring arrives and new season growth begins. As spring and summer droughts become more common, and water becomes a more valuable resource, turf managers need to consider ways of maintaining lush green grass all summer long. The solution could well be in the form of DLF’s drought-tolerant 4turf® tetraploid range.

The climate is changing, and sports pitches, golf courses and municipal parks have to adapt.

DLF Seeds, the world’s leading grass seed breeder, is to invest £3.5 million in new state-of-the-art mixing and distribution facilities at its main seed processing site at Inkberrow in Worcestershire.
