Bar Extreme RPR®

Extremely fast establishing grass

The high concentration of fine-leaved perennial ryegrass combined with RPR® technology makes for a very fast establishing grass mix. The fine-leaved perennial ryegrass contained in Bar Extreme RPR® grows many times faster than smooth meadow grass. The combination with RPR® makes it as strong as iron.

  

Less annual meadow grass

RPR® is as strong as smooth meadow grass, but is very fast establishing. It also reduces the ingression of annual meadow grass in your tee or fairway, because of the reduced risk of it establishing in your grass sward.

Primarily intended for overseeding

Consisting of 100% perennial ryegrass, the fast-establishing Bar Extreme RPR® is primarily intended for overseeding. A combination of red fescue and smooth meadow grass is usually used for seeding.

 

 

Regenerating

The RPR® mix produces determinate stolons that create a kind of netting in the sward, linking the individual grass plants. This means fewer divots, so less damage. The RPR® technology ensures a regenerating, very fast establishing grass sward.

 

Higher player intensity

The determinate stolons in RPR® create a natural network, like a kind of netting, resulting in a fast establishing sward. So instead of individual grass plants, every grassplant in a RPR® sward is linked to another grass plant and to the soil, making for a dense sward. The grass will be held down better, with less risk of turf being torn up by golf clubs on tees or fairways, allowing a higher playing intensity.

 

Green all year round

This fast establishing RPR® mix is particularly suitable for overseeding. Your sward can be overseeded up to three months longer than, say, a Bar Fairway sward. As Bar Extreme RPR® is so suitable for overseeding, your golf course will last longer and will be green all year round. And that of course means more turnover for you.
