Browntop spearhead
For high quality prestige golf greens more and more attention is now paid to browntop, Agrostis capillaris (A. tenuis). The reason is the arrival of new cultivars like JORVIK, which stands comparison with the best creeping bentgrasses.
Shaped for today's demands
When moderate maintenance and pesticide use is of importance, the choice of browntop bent is increasingly interesting. For golf greens it forms a perfect partner to the new dense varieties of chewings red fescue.
Top rating in various regions
