The BSPB Amenity Committee and the Turfgrass Seed Trials
Introduction
The BSPB Amenity Committee
The development of grass varieties for amenity
uses is a long-term, costly and sophisticated
business. Plant breeding (crossing, selecting
and conducting trials) typically takes a decade
or more, before varieties are ready for release
into Governmental registration and Industry
performance trials. Subsequent investment in
production, stock-holding, manufacturing and
marketing is expensive. The exploitation and
utilisation of the superior varieties made
available by this process require expert
guidance and advice.
BSPB is the trade association, based at Ely in
Cambridgeshire, which represents the interests
of companies with plant breeding and seeds
supply businesses in the UK. Companies can
participate as Full Members or Associates and
the Society caters for businesses with large or
small turnovers.
The purpose of Turfgrass Seed is to report
comprehensive results of available varieties in
trials designed to test suitability for:
Use in winter sports pitches, such as football
and rugby fields, and municipal recreation areas
(Sports Uses Trials).
Use in lawns, summer sports pitches, tennis
courts, turf and general landscaping (Lawns
Landscaping, Summer Sports and Turf Trials).
Use in the intensive management seen on golf
and bowling greens (Greens, Close Mown
Trials).
Turfgrass Seed presents the best available
interpretation of correctly designed, accurately
analysed and independently supervised trials to
our collective customer, the professional user of
high quality amenity grass cultivars.
The Turfgrass trials are conducted in Bingley,
West Yorkshire.

The major functions of BSPB include:
•Acting on behalf of plant breeders to Licence
and collect Royalties for the production of seed
of protected varieties by third parties.
•Representing the interests of its members
opposite Government and the European
Commission.
•Co-ordinating agreements with independent
trialling organisations to facilitate the production
of recommended and descriptive lists of
varieties.
The BSPB Amenity Committee comprises
representatives of all the major breeders
developing new cultivars for customers in the
UK. Its objectives include the long term:
•Coordination and funding of independent
amenity variety trialling.
•Continuity of the integrity of Turfgrass Seed as
a source of impartial and valid information to
buyers and users of amenity grass seed.
Guide to using Turfgrass Seed 2016
The lists contained in this booklet are designed
to enable users of Turfgrass Seed to evaluate
the suitability of different cultivars for various
amenity uses. Information for the major turfgrass
species is presented in the form of numerical
scores. In each column, larger numbers indicate
a higher score for the relevant characteristic. For
instance, cultivars with a score of 8.0 for shoot
density would be expected to produce denser
turf than those with a score of 7.0.
The only exception to this general rule is the
rating for colour. On this scale higher numbers
are darker green. These colour scores are
descriptive, to help with colour matching when
blending varieties in mixtures. They are not merit
ratings and in this case larger numbers do not
indicate a higher merit score.
Users should read the text regarding the
selection of grasses for each table to determine
which grasses best suit their particular needs.
Cultivars of the major turfgrass species have
been placed in order of suitability for particular
uses. The characteristics that have been used to
determine this ranking order have been shaded.
Where more than one characteristic has been
used, a mean has been calculated and added to
the table. When calculated, this mean has been
placed within the shaded area, to the right of
the characteristics used in its calculation.
The tables are numbered according to their
applicability to different end uses, thus:
S
Sports
L
General lawn and landscaping
G
Golf and bowling greens and other
close mown situations
Seed of all cultivars named should be available
in the UK in 2016 but in smaller amounts where
shown as LA (Limited Availability). The full
names and addresses for the main seed
suppliers representing grasses in the tables are
presented on page 28. For grasses where no
main agent is identified, users should contact
BSPB for further information.
The tables have been split into two sections to
give a main table and a new cultivar table. The
latter section is reserved for cultivars that have
been tested in only the most recent set of trials.
The scores in this section of the tables should
be regarded with less certainty than the scores
in the main sections of the tables. Please note
that ratings are not directly comparable among
species and uses.
The information presented in Turfgrass Seed
2016 is from trials conducted at the STRI. As
with any trial of living material, the performance
of the cultivars may vary in commercial
management.
Cultivars at the top of each list may not be
the best cultivars for every use. Users should
identify which characteristics are most
important for their intended use and then
select cultivars accordingly.

Assessment of characters
VISUAL MERIT
Visual merit is an overall measure of the
suitability of the sward for its potential use.
Visual merit is a combination of sward density,
leaf width, disease resistance and colour.
SHOOT DENSITY
In most applications of amenity grass a dense
sward is required, especially when a uniform
and true surface is needed, such as golf greens.
The number of shoots per unit area is assessed
to give a measure of sward density of the sown
species.
LIVE GROUND COVER
The live ground cover is regarded as more
important than shoot density in winter sports
turf. The ground cover of the sown species is
recorded monthly during the application of
artificial football wear to determine wear
tolerance.
SLOW RE-GROWTH
Mowing accounts for the majority of the cost of
maintaining amenity grass. During the growing
season (April to October) the sward height is
measured immediately prior to each cut.
FINENESS OF LEAF
The leaf width of different varieties of grasses
varies, especially for perennial ryegrasses and
smooth-stalked meadow-grass. Fine leaves are
desirable in fine turf and ornamental lawns. This
assessment is not undertaken for Chewings
fescues, hard & sheep’s fescues, slender
creeping red fescues or strong creeping red
fescues where there is little difference among
these fine-leaved grasses.

CLEANNESS OF CUTTING
Each variety is scored for cleanness of cutting.
DISEASE RESISTANCE
At a time when the usage of pesticides and the
products available for use on amenity grasses
are declining, disease resistance is of ever
increasing importance. All trials are monitored
for disease and scored when significant disease
infections occur.
COLOUR
Cultivars are assessed for genetic colour in both
summer and winter. This is a relative
assessment between different varieties and
colour will vary depending upon management
and fertiliser use.
RECOVERY
The winter sports turf trial is scored for two
months following the application of artificial
football wear to give an indication of individual
varieties ability to recover from wear. Higher
scoring varieties are less likely to need intensive
renovation in the closed season.

Applications
Winter sports pitches
Football and Rugby pitches
Municipal sports areas
Other intensively used areas
The perennial ryegrass cultivars in Table S1
(pages 6 and 7) are ranked on the mean of live
ground cover and visual merit during wear.
These characteristics are important for sports
pitches receiving intensive wear during winter,
such as football and Rugby pitches.
Users should identify the particular properties
that are important in their individual situations
and choose cultivars that score well for those
characteristics. In football and Rugby pitches for
example, it may be better to choose a cultivar
with reduced susceptibility to red thread, if this
can be done without compromising too much
on wear tolerance. Where good appearance is
required before wear, or in low wear situations,
good shoot density, fineness of leaf and
cleanness of cut scores will be important.
In all wear situations regular over-seeding can
have beneficial results. It is strongly advised that
this forms part of the end of season renovation
programme. Also the addition of new grasses
through over-seeding during the playing season
will help maintain ground cover.
Cultivars of smooth-stalked meadow-grasses
are shown in order of their performance under
football-type wear for inclusion in winter pitches
(Table S2). Once established, smooth-stalked
meadow-grass can be as hard wearing as
perennial ryegrass and usually has better
tolerance of close mowing.
Its rhizomes give good recovery from wear and
some drought tolerance. However,
establishment of this grass is slow and best
results can only be achieved if at least 12
months is left between sowing and use, Table
S2 (page 8). Trials are sown in spring with wear
being applied the following autumn.
Generally, cultivars of tall fescue form turf that
would be acceptable for many coarse turfgrass
uses. However, they are no substitute for
perennial ryegrass in normal turf situations in the
UK. Tall fescues are slower in establishment,
coarser in leaf texture, and as a result, less
attractive in appearance. They may however,
have a place under dry or low fertility conditions.
Tall fescues have also been used successfully
where fairly tall (15 - 20 cm) but still erect
swards are desirable, such as the grassed areas
surrounding airfields. New improved varieties of
this grass type, some with rhizomes, are starting
to become available. These produce acceptable
lawns but still do not match perennial ryegrass
for wear tolerance.
Tufted hair-grass is tolerant of damp and shady
conditions and has been included in some seed
mixtures for stadiums. This grass can
accumulate a little more organic matter at the
surface than some of the traditional sports
grasses like perennial ryegrass.

Tetraploid cultivars of perennial ryegrass are starting to be used in specialist seed mixtures for sports uses.
These grasses should not be confused with more persistent diploid perennial ryegrass that are more
commonly used in sports turf mixtures. In like-for-like comparisons, the traditional diploid grasses have
greater wear tolerance and produce a more attractive sward. However, the tetraploid grasses have
characteristics that can be exploited alongside traditional grasses. The main benefits are quicker
germination and establishment in cool conditions and increased seedling vigour. Once established, they
also tend to maintain growth longer than diploid cultivars as temperatures fall in the winter. This allows
these grasses to replace lost grass cover during winter wear. The ratings presented are comparable with
those given for diploid perennial ryegrass cultivars in Table S1.

Perennial ryegrasses are ranked in Table L1
(pages 11-12), smooth-stalked meadow-grasses
in Table L2 (page 13), tall fescues in Table L8
(page 18) and tufted hair-grass in Table L9 (page
18) on their mean performance for shoot
density, fineness of leaf, slow regrowth and
visual merit.
Fescues are ranked in Tables L3 to L6 (pages
14-17) on their mean performance for shoot
density and visual merit.
Bentgrasses are ranked in Table L7 (pages 17
and 18) on the mean of their shoot density,
fineness of leaf and visual merit.
In addition to differences among cultivars, there
are some general sub-species differences
among the red fescues. Chewings fescues in
comparison with slender creeping red fescues
tend to be more resistant to diseases. They also
tend to “green up” faster in the spring. The
slender creeping red fescues are more drought
tolerant and maintain colour and growth better
in the autumn and early winter. Both Chewings
and slender creeping red fescues are more
tolerant of closer mowing than strong creeping
red fescues and produce denser turf at all
heights of cut.
Cultivars of hard fescue are shown in order of
suitability for use in fine turf in Table L6. These
grasses, along with the sheep’s fescues may be
used for fine turf in very dry or infertile
conditions.

Turfgrass Seed 2016
They are also suited to low maintenance
conditions and may be of value in
environmentally sensitive areas, particularly
where the natural grasses are of the same
species. Please note that sheep’s and fine
leaved sheep’s fescues tend to grow in different
directions and as such do not produce a
uniform sward. Also, most of these grasses
have been found to be fairly intolerant of wear
and as a result should only be considered for
use in ornamental and low maintenance areas.
In contrast Quatro sheep’s fescue has been
found to be fairly wear tolerant. In golf and
bowling green trials at the STRI this cultivar has
been shown to have comparable wear tolerance
to Chewings and slender creeping red fescues.
Generally, cultivars of tall fescue form turf that
would be acceptable for many coarse turfgrass
uses. However, they are no substitute for
perennial ryegrass in normal turf situations in the
UK. Tall fescues are slower in establishment,
coarser in leaf texture, and as a result, less
attractive in appearance. They may however,
have a place under dry or low fertility conditions.
Tall fescues have also been used successfully
where fairly tall (15- 20cm) but still erect swards
are desirable, such as the grassed areas
surrounding airfields. New improved cultivars of
this grass type, some with rhizomes, are starting
to become available. These grasses produce
lawns of acceptable quality, particularly where
fertility and water might be restricted.
Tufted hair-grass is naturally adapted to damp
and shady conditions. In turf the grass forms a
dense upright sward, which is fairly tolerant of
wear.

Turfgrass Seed 2016
Series G
Greens, Close Mown Trials (Mown at 4-7mm)
Bentgrasses (Table G1), Chewings fescue (Table G2), Slender creeping
red fescue (Table G3), Perennial ryegrass (Table G4), Hard, Sheep’s and
Strong creeping red fescues (Festuca ssp.) (Table G5)
Cultivars of bentgrass species are listed in order
of their suitability for use in very close mown
turf, such as golf and bowling greens in Table
G1 (page 20).
For very fine turf, such as golf greens and
bowling greens, the finer and denser cultivars of
A. capillaris appear to perform best under
traditional UK management and growing
conditions. Higher management inputs are
required to maintain creeping bentgrasses.
Velvet bentgrass (A. canina) produces
exceptionally dense turf and generally has
better drought tolerance than the other
bentgrass species. However, it also produces
more thatch than other bents and this would
need to be controlled to maintain the very good
surface, which this grass can produce.
Cultivars of Chewings fescue and slender
creeping red fescue are shown in order of their
suitability for use in very close mown turf (golf
and bowling greens, mown at 4-7mm) in Tables
G2 (page 21) and G3 (page 22). As for the
bentgrasses, the order was determined from the
mean of each cultivars visual merit and shoot
density scores. These grasses can produce
acceptable greens under restricted watering
and fertility regimes that would limit the
performance of some bentgrasses.
Table G4 (page 23) describes the performance
of perennial ryegrass cultivars that have been
evaluated under close mowing (5 mm summer
and 7 mm winter). These grasses should be
used in situations where the need for quick
establishment and wear tolerance is combined
with a degree of close mowing. They should not
be seen as a replacement for bentgrasses or
fine fescues in golf or bowling greens.

The performance of strong creeping red fescues, hard fescues and Sheep’s fescues have been
evaluated as a group for use in close mown turf (Table G5). These grasses tolerate a degree of close
mowing and can form an attractive close mown turf. They could be used as an alternative to, or in
combination with, Chewings and slender creeping red fescue for many fine turf uses. However, they
will not match superior Chewings and slender creeping red fescue cultivars for use in high quality
golf greens. Sheep’s fescues tend to form noticeable growth patterns (whorls) in fine turf. This is not
unattractive but can make them difficult to stripe up with a mower.

Table M1 lists the availability of minor
turfgrass species. The performance of these
grasses may differ from the more traditional
amenity grass species and these differences
have yet to be fully determined. They should,
therefore, be treated with some caution as
their growth characteristics and
susceptibility to disease will differ from more
commonly used grass species.
