{"product_id":"20kg-grass-seed-mix-for-airport-landscapes","title":"20kg Grass Seed Mix for Airport Landscapes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a grass seed mixture made up mainly of two tall fescue cultivars, chosen for their upright, stiff growth and strong resistance to frost and drought. Tall fescue is easy to keep at its ideal mown height of 150 mm, and managing airport grassland at this height has been shown to cut the number of birds struck by aircraft in flight. Annual ryegrass is added as a nurse crop, germinating quickly and providing early ground cover while the tall fescue establishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery high resistance to frost and drought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptionally quick germination, helped by the annual ryegrass nurse crop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpright, stiff growth habit from the tall fescue cultivars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal mowing height of 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSowing Rate (g\/m²)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverseeding Rate (g\/m²)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMowing Height (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSowing New Areas\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet the surface ready before sowing, making sure that:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStones and weeds have been cleared away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrainage is adequate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe surface is level and firm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe surface is moist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread the seed evenly at the recommended sowing rate, to a depth of roughly 10 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the surface moist for a minimum of 2 - 3 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake the first cut once the grass has reached 5 - 6 cm in height and tillering has begun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOverseeding Existing Turf\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepare the turf by clearing out excess thatch and cutting back on irrigation and fertiliser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply at the recommended overseeding rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the best results, use a disc seeder or a studded seed roller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirport grassland managed at 150 mm to help reduce bird strikes on aircraft in flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirport landscapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 20kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain species: tall fescue (two cultivars) with annual ryegrass nurse crop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSowing rate: 20 g\/m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverseeding rate: 10 g\/m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMowing height: 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMixture Composition\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e%\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCultivar\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecies\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDebussy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTall fescue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEssential\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTall fescue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuickston\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnnual ryegrass – turf type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivars are subject to availability and may differ from those listed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf some varieties are in short supply, they may be replaced with a suitable alternative; any change to the mixture is clearly marked on the bag label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging may vary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Turf Care Pro","offers":[{"title":"20kg","offer_id":58855483212107,"sku":"TCP1356","price":263.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0142\/3435\/files\/beb878f1c98ea4625e1f7f842e2730ba.jpg?v=1792074314","url":"https:\/\/turfcarepro.co.uk\/products\/20kg-grass-seed-mix-for-airport-landscapes","provider":"Turf Care Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
