DSV is a leading breeder and producer of turf grasses with many of its varieties at the heart of some of Europe's biggest stadiums and sports facilities.
With its main breeding stations in Germany and France, DSV currently has 90 turf varieties approved worldwide with the superiority of its products increasingly recognised in the UK, says DSV's business manager for grasses Sam Horner.
"DSV has been breeding grass varieties for all requirements - from sports and golf courses to parks and home gardens - for literally decades.”
"In Germany, we are the number one in turf grass breeding, we also play in the premier league of suppliers internationally with our premium varieties represented at the top of the lists of all major turf tests in Europe."
When it comes to the UK, DSV has been established for over 40 years with an exemplary track record of providing the best seed for many popular crops including amenity grasses, he points out.
"Operating from our breeding and trials centre at Wardington, Oxfordshire, we have some of the highest yielding and best performing wheat varieties currently available and we're equally successful with our grasses.”
"DSV varieties account for three of the top ten sports turf recommendations for perennial ryegrass on the current BSPB list for turf professionals."
Based on this success, DSV has now launched its Eurograss Pro amenity range in the UK which builds on the company's 60 years of grass breeding knowledge to offer a range of mixtures especially developed for the home market, Sam Horner explains.
"Developed for professional use with high demands across a wide range of applications, the Eurograss Pro range features species and varieties carefully selected for their different characteristics.”
"Eurograss mixtures meet the needs of many high end professional sports facilities. The range includes Pro Pitch, Pro Summer Sport and Pro Fescue, with all Eurograss mixtures cleaned twice to guarantee cleanliness and purity.”
