Golf course maintenance
Location, weather, soil, and usage can present many different golf course maintenance challenges for greenkeepers. This detailed guide from Germinal focuses on maximising grass performance.
What is proactive seeding?
Germinal Amenity and top UK greenkeepers believe that proactive seeding through seasonal overseeding can produce golf greens that thrive without needing fungicides.
Spring overseeding: Proactive seeding for better consistency
Proactive seeding can be used in a spring overseeding strategy to outcompete the disease-prone Poa annua without needing fungicides.
Summer overseeding: Bentgrass can outperform Poa annua
Discover how summer overseeding can be a game-changer by outcompeting Poa annua with creeping bentgrasses that are ideal for close mowing.
Cold-seeding: Maximise seedling survival in winter
Cold-seeding is the practice of applying new seed to an established sward in the late autumn or early spring when soil temperatures are below those required for immediate germination.
