High resistance to dollar spot and Fusarium
Bar Trio Bent contains the very best varieties with good resistance to, in particular, dollar spot and Fusarium. Creeping bent grass tends to be fairly susceptible to diseases. Barenbrug has paid a lot of attention to developing varieties that are less susceptible to diseases. Dollar spot causes small round patches in swards, while Fusarium affects the grass’s roots, turning them black and ultimately killing them.
The fact that Bar Trio Bent can be mown so closely implies extremely high ball speeds and playing quality. A Stimpmeter can be used to check whether ball speeds are indeed that high on a green. This simple device enables greenkeepers to accurately measure ball speeds.
