keys Our commitment to the environment

›› SEMILLAS FITÓ focus closely on customer demands, breeding varieties with high Establishment endophyte levels to increase drought tolerance and insect resistance.

›› Our varieties are highly suited to Mediterranean conditions, use less water and are more stress-tolerant.

›› Our dark green varieties are environmentally friendly, using less water, 1 week 2 weeks 3 weeks less nitrogen and fewer phytosanitary products.

›› SEMILLAS FITÓ has been a pioneer in introducing warm-season species with high environmental value such as Seashore paspalum Water needs SEA SPRAY, extremely high salt-tolerant, or GOBI bermudagrass, extremely drought-tolerant.

›› Our varieties have slow-growing habits in order to reduce mowing needs.

Before being launched, Our Turfgrass Research Station SEMILLAS FITÓ varieties must fulfil located in Cabrera de Mar is the the following requirements: biggest in the Iberian Peninsula dedicated to turfgrasses. 1. Genetics suited to conditions in the Mediterranean area. The newest material from all over 2. Tested for at least two years the world is included in the plots. trials under real conditions in order to evaluate strengths and Its excellent situation by the Mediterranean sea and in a mild weaknesses; e.g. Cabrera de Rinovo Thunder winter area with high humidity, hot Mar turf trials.

Bermuda of Poa trivialis QUASAR, Lolium multiﬂ orum GREENLINKS, Lolium multiﬂ orum THUNDER and Lolium perenne RINOVO. high electrical conductivity ensure 4. Gaining (if possible) the that varieties working in this best marks at international situation will perform well in any official trials; e.g. US National area of the Mediterranean. Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP). All varieties spend a minimum of two years under non-spraying conditions before being launched on the market.

The plots are divided into areas with different irrigation quantities and treatments for their evaluation.

Bentgrass trials. Future

The future is coming, with the new Turfgrass trial (ﬁ rst part). generation of varieties that will lead the market in the coming years.

Creeping perennial ryegrass, tall fescues as fine as rye and with rhizomes, annual rye with top turf specs, high stress-tolerant bentgrass or cold-tolerant bermudagrass will make the

difference. A Technical Handbook A Technical Handbook Turfgrass trial (second part). Varieties like TERRANO, a new tall Turfgrass fescue with high spreading ability Culture Turfgrass Culture
