QUICKSTON

QUICKSTON

Lolium westerwoldicum

Westerwold/annual ryegrass

Fast estalblishment = key to success

Fast establishment = fast ground cover = preserving playing quality

Visual appearance is important, but the role of Quickston is above all to secure a quick establishment in difficult situations and then disappear !

The perfect nurse crop

The low percent of Quicston that we recommend for mixtures is due to the fact that it's role is producing a quick ground cover but also allowing safe and fast establishment of the perennial species in the mixture.

Quickston has a darker green colour than previous generations

This is sometimes an advantage for a more homogeneous appearance.

Finer leaves

The leaf texture is finer and again an advantage in terms of visual appearance.

  • Rapid installation
  • Low minimum germination temperature
  • Accelerates ground cover & acts as nurse crop
  • Disappearing rapidly!
