In the Netherlands, a heated discussion is going on about the potential health risks of artificial grass because of its rubber infill. Scientists found reasons to believe that this infill could increase the risk of cancer. Following this discussion, it has become more than relevant to focus on the current state of affairs in natural grass. An awful lot of research has been carried out in the natural grass industry the past few years, and many innovations have been introduced. What’s the outcome of all that research? With the proper maintenance, the latest natural grasses offer an excellent and cheaper alternative to artificial grass.

Annual meadow grass makes sports fields unplayable

When light green patches appear on a sports field, the groundsman knows the score: annual meadow grass! If annual meadow grass is left to grow, it will become dominant in the field within three years. Newly laid out sports fields in particular are a target for annual meadow grass. Tackling it with chemicals is becoming more and more difficult, as some products are not easily available and the use of the number of permitted herbicides is becoming an increasingly greater issue. At Barenbrug we have researched Poa annua extensively in recent years, and we have succeeded in producing mixtures that are able to win the battle against annual meadow grass.
