SUMMER PATCH WON'T FAZE HGT

 

Summer Patch can wipe out Kentucky bluegrass completely. HGT is a different story altogether. Tested intensively on many locations across the country and in university trials, HGT stood out for its resistance to Summer Patch. In the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) tests, HGT actually took over some heavily affected neighboring plots. “Barvette HGT (BAR VV 0709) was the top TQ entry in the transition zone region, probably because of its excellent Summer Patch tolerance” (Kevin Morris, Executive Director NTEP, TPI Turf News July/August 2011). HGT is the first bluegrass that can withstand or recover very quickly from this disease.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRAFFIC RESILIENT AND RAPID RECOVERY

 

As mentioned, HGT not only tolerates traffic but it recovers very quickly from traffic damage. In research studies at Michigan State University, HGT was compared to other high-ranked Kentucky bluegrasses. In every trial, HGT did considerably better than other popular varieties, like Midnight, Prosperity and Jumpstart. Likewise in the NTEP traffic stress tests, HGT came out head and shoulders above other entries both at Michigan State University and Rutgers University trials.

 

Of all of the NTEP-rated grasses, HGT is the highest ranked for tolerance against wear. Six other Barenbrug grasses are ranked in the top ten of that same list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GREEN-UP LIKE NO OTHER BLUEGRASS

 

Spring green-up is challenging for most Kentucky bluegrass varieties. HGT breaks the barrier on that account. It greens up in the spring like no other bluegrass, even on sports fields that are used all winter long. HGT is a blessing for turf managers needing an early spring season with healthy, green grass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GRUBS 'N BUGS DON'T LIKE HGT - HEALTHY GRASS IS THE RESULT

 

White grubs and billbugs can devastate Kentucky bluegrass. That’s not the case with HGT. The NTEP tests acknowledged HGT for having the highest tolerance against these bluegrass foes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GERMINATION AND ESTABLISHMENT

 

An important part of HGT is its quick germination and establishment. Whether you need your sports field ready quicker, to harvest sod faster or just to have your fairway ready for golfers sooner, HGT will get the job done. Count on HGT to germinate in as few as seven days, depending on weather conditions.

 

 

YELLOW JACKET® COATED

 

HGT thrives with a Yellow Jacket coating and we strongly recommend its use for optimum, dependable results. Yellow Jacket®, Barenbrug’s proprietary seed coating technology, holds up to 600 times its own weight in water. Research trials at the University of New Mexico proved that seed coated with Yellow Jacket established faster and required less water. Using ZEBA® technology for super absorbancy, Yellow Jacket also includes DormbreakerTM, a Barenbrug invention that stimulates quicker seed germination.

 

 

Note: HGT is sold in blends as TURF BLUE HGT.
