3rd Millennium SRP Tall Fescue
3rd Millennium SRP is one of TMi's entirely new and advanced generation of tall fescues. The presence of rhizomes creates a self-repair potential for this species which can speed establishment, improve traffic tolerance, plus aid and increase recovery potential from damage.
MVS has developed a new class of tall fescues that through natural mechanisms like tillering and rhizome formation more aggressively establish, spread, and fill in, creating a turf of higher density particularly under stresses. These releases are coded with the LS suffix.
Firecracker LS Tall Fescue
A release from the Lateral Spread Technology™ program, Firecracker LS has scored in the highest NTEP grouping for overall quality under medium fertility, traffic, and hot humid environments. It is among the finest in texture, with very uniform growth.
Spyder LS Tall Fescue
A release from the Lateral Spread Technology™ program, Spyder LS has scored in the highest NTEP grouping for overall quality under medium fertility, traffic, and shade. Tops in density under drought, its aggressive behavior crowds out weeds.
Titanium LS Tall Fescue
A release from the Lateral Spread Technology™ program, Titanium LS thrives under low fertility, reduced irrigation, and shade. Particularly adapted throughout the Transition zone, its disease resistance to brown patch is excellent.
Seed breeders have been busy trying to improve the ability of tall fescues to spread and repair themselves. Below are several varieties with this new technology.
Keep in mind that the supply of these new varieties will be very limited for 2010. Inventories will improve for fall of 2010 and of course 2011.
