DLF lays down new seed mixture for Brazil

Seed from DLF’s Johnsons Sports Seeds range has been chosen for all World Cup stadiums and training pitches for Brazil 2014. DLF’s new 4turf cultivar in the mixture chosen has been trialled in the UK at the STRI and the final seed mixture has been tested in Brazil by both international advisors and local sports grass specialists. Football pitches in Brazil are generally Bermuda-grass based, so the pitches need to be reinforced with temperate sports turfgrass to provide the perfect playing surface. To meet this requirement, the pitches have been overseeded with DLF’s perennial ryegrasses including 4turf.
