FEATURES & BENEFITS: 

The unique component of RPR Golf is Barpropel, a Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass (RPR). Barpropel is new for 2025 and represents the next generation of RPR technology, with finer leaf texture and enhanced wear tolerance.


RPR is a group of cultivars bred from Barenbrug’s grass breeding stations that delivers unparalleled recovery from wear and naturally self-regenerating growth habit. It produces determinate stolons (a stem that grows along the ground surface as it establishes and grows as shown in Fig. 1), resulting in solid ground cover and unparalleled capacity for recovery after and during wear.

 

Barprium is an exceptional ryegrass for summer sports use. It is ranked very highly in both G4 and L1 tables of BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2025.

 

Barpersie is a new inclusion in the mixture for 2025. Barpersie is a true all-rounder, ranking #10 in Table S1 and #2 in Table L1 of BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2025. Both Barpersie and Barprium are part of our ULTRAFINE group of fine leaf perennial ryegrasses.
