Now it’s time again for football, and England sets the scene for the 13th UEFA European Women’s Championship. The tournament will offer 31 matches between Europe’s best women national football teams and the expectations for the pitch quality is sky high being in the homeland of football and turf maintenance.

Festuloliums are extraordinary grasses not nearly used to the extent they deserve. They represent the best of two worlds combined in on hybrid; growth speed and quality from the ryegrasses; persistency and stress tolerance from the fescues.

Fertilizers costs are sky-high, and it is really adding to the benefits of the nitrogen fixating clovers. It can be-grass pastures with clover that are capable of producing protein for feed with less need for fertilizer application. Or it can be good looking low input microclover lawns.

Years before the climate agenda hit the breeding companies, DLF took a bold move in gathering breeders and scientists from public and private organizations in pursuit of advancing crop breeding for future climates.

Country Reports have in collaboration with Newsweek published a report about Denmark

DLF finds that the military invasion of Ukraine is completely unacceptable and strongly distance itself from the ongoing inhuman acts taking place on Ukrainian soil.

Overseeding presents a real opportunity to restore production in tired or damaged swards. It is also a way to get a rebound in forage yield in a low-cost, energy saving and climate-friendly way. The drilling technique saves money for expensive fuel and the loss of CO2 from the seed bed preparation is limited to a minimum.

With International Women’s Day approaching it is a great opportunity to put focus on gender diversity.

How can farmers deal with increasing expenses on forage protein, energy and fertilizers?

The global seed group DLF has outgrown its present head office space in Roskilde and has chosen a new, well-suited location in green surroundings in the neighbouring municipality Egedal - a half hour drive northeast of Roskilde

Disease control is a greater challenge for many turf managers as they seek to reduce pesticide use while wanting to deliver the best playing quality and visual appearance. Grass on stadiums and training facilities are pushed to the limit due to challenging growth conditions and lots of wear. Anything that can damage the pitch is therefore a threat.

No Need to Look for the Needle in the DNA-stack When You Can Create One Yourself. Many professionals in plant business are familiar with the recent introduction of a technology, called “genome editing”, which has the potential to change breeding dramatically. The most commonly used genome editor is the Crispr/CAS system. Crispr/CAS can make a mutation at specific positions in any plants’ DNA, which may result in a better trait. In nature, mutations are induced all the time. Over thousands of years this is what has created the variation upon which we build all new varieties today. But not all mutations are easily detected.

Let us have a look at what the options are for bringing new features to the market in our business.
