Eight superb grass seed mixtures featuring Tetraploid Technology Ryegrasses, and launched, all with Germin-8 liquid seed treatment have been unveiled by Rigby Taylor.
Double the number of chromosones compared to diploid perennial ryegrass increases cellular chloroplasts that boost chlorophyll production for energy absorption. This provides a more robust, healthier plant with stronger deeper root, greater disease and drought tolerance and superb colour.
Particular benefits during the main renovation and transitional sowing is the plants ability to provide faster germination at temperatures from 4°C and superior winter wear. Also, ideal selections for cold temperature divotting.

All of the individual grass seeds in the eight mixtures are pre-applied with Germin-8 liquid seed treatment, a breakthrough in grass seed treatment. A cocktail of speciality penetrating surfactants, targeted nutrients, stimulants and micronised mycorrhizae are activated when the seed comes in contact with moisture in the rootzone, stimulating rapid cell division for faster germination and emergence, earlier root mass development and higher plant survival rates.
Independent trials have shown up to 100% increase in germination has been achieved after just 10 days.
There is a recommended mixture for every grass surface for construction, renovation, transitional seeding and repairs.
