Barenbrug at BTME 2020

Sustainability the key for Barenbrug at BTME 2020

Barenbrug invites delegates to Stand 315 in the Green Hall to learn more about new product launches and ground-breaking research and development in their industry-leading SPORT RANGE for 2020.

BTME will see the unveiling of SGT (Sustainable Grass Technology), Barenbrug’s newest innovation, which promises a future of stress tolerant grass for sustainable turf management.

The initial product SGT FAIRWAY has been formulated after years of dedicated research across multiple sites in Europe, including STRI in the UK. It is a rye/fescue blend with (independently proven) reduced requirements for fertiliser, water and fungicide. Central to the mixture is the new perennial ryegrass Barprium – a fine-leafed cultivar with truly remarkable performance under stress conditions.

Barenbrug’s bentgrass product portfolio is significantly enhanced for 2020 with the reformulation of ALL BENT and the introduction of DUO BENT to the range. DUO BENT is a combination of creeping and browntop species – a concept first proven in independent UK trials several years ago by Barenbrug.

Both mixtures feature the stand-out #1-variety Charles browntop. ALL BENT combines Charles with BarKing (#1-rated for Microdochium tolerance in recent trials); DUO BENT utilises an outstanding new variety of creeper L-93XD, which comes to the UK market on the back of impressive NTEP trial data from USA. The shoot density (and subsequent tolerance to close-mowing) of both mixtures is unparalleled in the market.

Last but not least, Barenbrug will be celebrating something OLD this BTME, in addition to the new arrivals. Watch out for your chance to get involved in the “coronation” of a very familiar fescue cultivar, a long-term favourite of many turf managers.
