As part of its ongoing commitment to promote the ecological benefit of man-made environments, amenity grass and wildflower seed specialist Germinal has updated its range of wild flora mixtures to make them more beneficial to pollinators.
Germinal has launched an all-new grass seed mixture designed specifically for golf greens. ‘Tour Leader’ – a 50:50 blend of 007 DSB and new cultivar Tour Pro (GDE) – is a landmark in the evolution of creeping bentgrass products: this exceptional blend sets the bar high with unrivaled performance, seasonal adaptability, high disease resistance and vivid colour retention.
We are pleased to announce we have added to our range of off-the-shelf grass seed and fertiliser bundles. We have developed a new package of products aimed at simplifying the process of selecting and purchasing the relevant inputs to renovate cricket squares.
We are delighted to announce that we have added to our range of off-the-shelf grass seed and fertiliser bundles. We have curated a new package of products aimed at simplifying the process of selecting and purchasing the relevant inputs to renovate bowling greens.
A trial carried out by Germinal in association with Dunblane New Golf Club has illustrated the natural vigour of two modern creeping bentgrass cultivars, 007 DSB and 777 DSB.
Bowling green grass seed mixtures have traditionally comprised a blend of browntop bentgrasses and fescues, with Germinal’s A1 Professional Bowls (80% Chewings fescue and 20% browntop bentgrass) a prime example of this type of mixture: this blend of fescues and bentgrasses works perfectly together to provide the very fine playing surface required on bowling greens and is ideal for use during end of season renovations.

Extensive periods of dry weather can cause crack-damaged soils to be a major issue, especially on sports pitches where irrigation isn’t available. Not only will this drought-induced damage cause the playing surface to become uneven, unplayable, and potentially dangerous, it can also be aesthetically unsightly and therefore damaging to a club or groundsman’s reputation.
Mosses are primitive plants that are known collectively as bryophytes. These non-flowering plants are found in a wide range of habitats – including within fine mown turf swards – and consist of a slender, soft and fleshy stem, green or brown leaves and slender roots called rhizoids which absorb water and anchor the plant.
