Pacific Vista LS
Lateral Spread Tall Fescue
Blend
Pacific Vista LS blend is a new
generation Tall Fescue blend using varieties that exhibit lateral
spreading characteristics to help fill in thin spots. The ability
to produce rhizomes allows tall fescues to reduce open areas which
can become inhabited by weeds or erode soil causing other issues.
Pacific Vista LS blend uses newer varieties that have higher
disease tolerance which makes them more able to handle issues that
arise from fungus outbreaks due to high humidity, high temperatures
and soil types. They contain high levels of endophytes, an organism
within the cells that provide for better insect control. Salinity
trials were also done to the varieties used for germination under
high salt levels associated with reclaimed water.
Plush RW Reclaimed
Water Tall Fescue Blend
Plush RW Tall Fescue blend was developed
for applications where reclaimed water is either used or
anticipated in the future. Many tall fescue varieties show
moderate tolerance to salts and other minerals associated with
reclaimed water. Drought, clay soils, uneven irrigation and
continued reclaimed water use can create a negative condition where
many nutrients needed by the turf are bound up. Maintenance
practices to reduce the salinity can alleviate some of those
conditions through leaching and other means-temporarily, but those
conditions will return so it is important to select a blend that
tolerates those issues. Plush RW blend uses newer generation
Tall Fescues that have very good color and compact growth
habit.
Fast Track RW Reclaimed Water
Ryegrass Blend
Fast Track RW (Reclaimed Water) blend utilizes
newer varieties of perennial ryegrasses that exhibit high tolerance
to salinity and other associated conditions brought on by use of
reclaimed water for irrigation. The blend has been tested where
germination and maturation was done at high levels of saline
conditions. Selecting newer varieties that have very good
color, compact growth habit and very good disease tolerances makes
it a blend that professional turf managers would be happy to use
for sportsfields, golf courses and landscape areas.
