Climate change needs climate smart solutions

Welcome to the 2024 Germinal Amenity product catalogue.

You will find that our core range of grass seed includes mixtures for the entire sports sector, from golf courses, racecourses and tennis courts to cricket, football and rugby pitches. You can also explore solutions for both general and specialist landscaping projects.

As our industry moves towards more sustainable practices, we continue to focus on environmentally enhanced green spaces with our climate smart solutions such as Germinal DoubleRoot hybrid clovers which are a natural source of nitrogen, improve soil structure and can outperform traditional clovers by persisting through drought and cold weather stress. AberLasting is a DoubleRoot hybrid clover variety and is found in our AberSustain and A18 mixtures.

Increasing biodiversity is also fundamental to supporting ecosystem habitats and Germinal’s range of wildflower mixtures are formulated to attract insects and pollinators with products to suit landscape architects, groundsmen and greenkeepers.

In 2022, we launched our innovative Proactive Seeding programme, a seasonal overseeding approach which has now been widely adopted as a sustainable best practice by many top greenkeepers. This increases the percentage of desirable grass species that can better withstand disease and extreme weather conditions. We’ll continue to spread the message.

This year, we also welcomed Graham Parker as our new Technical Sales Representative for Ireland. With more than two decades of experience in the golf, sports and landscape sectors in Ireland and England, Graham’s extensive knowledge of the industry’s challenges and requirements makes him a valuable asset to our team.

Variety matters:

Choose the UK’s top creeping bents

When Germinal introduced 007 DSB to the UK, we were questioned by greenkeepers and agronomists who believed that all creeping bentgrasses required high inputs (especially nitrogen (N) and water) to succeed.

But the success and simple management of 007 DSB and more recently top-rated Tour Pro (GDE) have shattered the input concerns associated with modern creeping bentgrasses. Adopters in the UK have reported significantly lower nitrogen and water requirements than anticipated, with excellent turf quality maintained using just 50kg of N per hectare. These qualities make them well-suited for typical UK greenkeeping practices.

Greenkeepers can leverage the high shoot density of 007 DSB and Tour Pro (GDE) without concerns about encouraging Poa annua. Both varieties rate strongly in National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials for resistance to Fusarium, Anthracnose and Dollar Spot. And Tour Pro (GDE) is even more tolerant of drought conditions – helping greenkeepers maintain quality putting surfaces while placing Poa annua under significant stress.

While the tide has turned and many UK greenkeepers are now using these exceptional creeping bentgrass varieties to outcompete Poa annua and develop disease-free greens with exceptional playability, pretenders have arrived. But it’s crucial to recognise that the strength of these varieties lies in their ability to thrive in conditions unfavourable to Poa annua. Older, lower-rated varieties demand higher inputs, inadvertently benefiting Poa annua. So, when choosing seed, remember the variety matters and talk to your local Germinal representative.

“This is to try and get finer and more disease-resistant grass species into our greens that can help out-compete Poa annua and tie in with my sustainable management approach."

Iain Marshall Head Greenkeeper, West Lothian Golf Club

Tour Pro (GDE)

Tour Pro (GDE) is the latest creeping bent to join Germinal’s bentgrass portfolio.

After excelling in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) in the United States, Tour Pro (GDE) is now the highest-rated creeping bentgrass on table G1 of the 2024 BSPB list.

The low input requirement mirrors 007 DSB, enabling greenkeepers to outcompete Poa annua by using management strategies that place Poa under stress. This allows the natural attributes of Tour Pro (GDE) and 007 DSB to gain the upper hand and dominate the sward.

007 DSB Creeping Bent

007 DSB has an unrivalled reputation worldwide.

Bred in the US using 24 parent plants, this genetic diversity ensures good disease resistance, especially against Anthracnose, Fusarium, Snow Mould and Dollar Spot.

This most crucial of traits is coupled with an extremely prostrate growth habit, high shoot density and good wear tolerance in a wide range of conditions, including cold climates and drought susceptible regions. 007 DSB has won plaudits wherever it has been used, including Ryder Cup and US Open courses, and the PGA Masters at Wentworth.

“The reduced nutrition that’s required, the fact that 007 looks after itself, and especially with the ups and downs of the weather – it can handle variations in temperatures.”

Phil Dodds Golf Course Manager, Otley Golf Club

Tour Leader

Creeping Bent Blend

50% 007 DSB (Creeping Bent)

Tour Leader is a landmark mixture in the evolution of creeping bentgrass products. This exceptional blend sets the bar high with unrivalled performance, seasonal adaptability, high disease resistance and vivid colour retention.

Combining 007 DSB and Tour Pro (GDE), the number-one-rated creeping bent for 2024, this mixture is an all-round leader.

Climate smart greens

By pairing the drought tolerance and wear resistance of Tour Pro (GDE) with the cold weather tolerance and sustainability of 007 DSB, we have created a mixture with genetic diversity to keep greens in good condition all year round, irrespective of what the weather might throw at them.

With the UK’s variable weather patterns ensuring no two seasons are the same, flexibility makes Tour Leader the ideal overseeding and reseeding mixture for modern greens.

Breeding to maximise Fusarium resistance

Recent trials carried out by the STRI on behalf of Germinal suggest that overseeding golf greens with browntop bentgrass cultivars such as AberRegal might offer improved resistance against microdochium patch disease, better known as Fusarium patch disease.

Breeding trials at the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) in Aberystwyth suggested that AberRegal gives above average resistance to Fusarium. The aim of the STRI trial was therefore to examine the susceptibility and resistance of eight browntop bentgrass cultivars to Fusarium under a close mowing regime.

IMAGE

The trials showed that AberRegal offers above average resistance to Fusarium and can therefore increase the effectiveness of, and/or reduce the requirement for, a full programme of fungicide applications. A good percentage of bentgrasses such as AberRegal will therefore provide a firebreak between areas of Poa annua, thereby preventing patches of infection from joining together.

Wild flora mixtures

Wild sustainable beauty

As part of our commitment to improving the environmental and ecological benefit of man-made environments, our wildflower mixtures have been updated.

In addition to our UK-specific Regional Environmental (RE) mixtures, we have incorporated a selection of pollinator-friendly, non-native and ‘garden’ varieties into our general landscaping wild flora (WF and WFG) range, known as Urban Meadow.

General landscaping

Urban Meadows Mixtures containing grass

WFG2

Flowering Meadow

Where to use this mixture:

Creates a meadow for most urban and suburban situations, combining the UK native wildflowers and selected non-native species found in WF1 with 80% grasses to produce a grassland meadow mixture, suitable for all soil types.

The mixture is balanced to maximise the floral interest from as early as April through to September. The inclusion of a good percentage of annuals assists in giving a first season display when the mixture is sown in March or April.

A great habitat for invertebrates which in turn provide food for birds and mammals. If possible, when cutting in late summer an area of up to one third should be left uncut until the following spring for overwintering invertebrates. This area should be alternated each year.

An 80:20 mix of grasses, annual and perennial flowers including Oxeye Daisy, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Corn poppy, Oxeye Sunflower and Echinacea.

Sowing Rate: 5g/m2

Maintenance Guide

Urban Meadows

mixtures (WF and WFG)

1st cut Mid-September–1st October and collect the arisings

Cutting height 70-100mm

Maintenance thereafter

Cut from mid-August to early October. This can be done as one cut but preferably, and if the meadow is big enough, you will cut it in sections leaving a week to a fortnight between cuts. Ensure you collect the arisings. If the meadow is large enough, consider allowing up to a fifth to stand uncut through the winter and cut down and remove the clippings in March the following year. This will provide a habitat for invertebrates and some vertebrates over the winter. Rotate this area so a different section is left uncut each year. This more closely replicates the grazing of animals which would leave some small areas not grazed.

If possible and with the obvious exception of areas you are leaving uncut, lightly mow the sward down to 70-100mm as required throughout the winter months until March and collect the arisings.

Mixtures without grass (WF1, WF3 and WF19)

Cut down to 70-100mm from early-September. Remove arisings. If practical, consider leaving up to one fifth of the area uncut. The remaining dead stalks will provide a nesting and hibernation site and egg laying habitat for invertebrates over the winter. Alternate this area each winter.

If possible and with the obvious exception of areas you are leaving uncut, lightly mow the sward down to 70-100mm as required throughout the winter months until March and collect the arisings.

Mixtures of Annuals (WF10 and WF17)

These require no maintenance although over-sowing may be required in the spring each year until a sufficient seed bank has been built up.

100% UK Native

True Meadows

RE1 Traditional Hay Meadow (MG5

Grassland)

A grassland and wildflower community which reflects an old hay meadow before the advent of modern agricultural practises. Suitable for being managed by grazing in the long term. However, for the first few seasons managing by cutting might be required in order to develop the depth of sward to avoid excessive poaching. A great habitat for invertebrates, birds and mammals.

Where to use this mixture:

• Heavy clay soils

• Road verges

• Embankments

• Quarry areas

• Lowland areas

• To encourage insects and birds
