Tall fescue grows with an erect, stiff habit, is highly resistant to frost and drought, and is easy to manage at the optimum mown height of 150mm. Managing airport grassland at this height has been shown to reduce the number of birdstrikes on aircraft in flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnnual ryegrass is included in the mix for its rapid germination and ground cover, acting as a nurse crop while the tall fescue establishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackaging may vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMixture Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color:#0e7c74;color:#ffffff;\"\u003e%\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color:#0e7c74;color:#ffffff;\"\u003eCultivar\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color:#0e7c74;color:#ffffff;\"\u003eSpecies\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\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\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Cultivars are subject to availability, and may differ from that listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHardy:\u003c\/b\u003e highly frost and drought resistant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFast start:\u003c\/b\u003e extremely fast germination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBirdstrike management:\u003c\/b\u003e optimum mowing height of 150mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color:#0e7c74;color:#ffffff;\"\u003eSowing Rate (g\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color:#0e7c74;color:#ffffff;\"\u003eOverseeding Rate (g\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color:#0e7c74;color:#ffffff;\"\u003eMowing Height (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSowing guidance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepare the surface before sowing, making sure that:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStones and weeds are removed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is sufficient drainage.\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\u003eSow the seed evenly at the correct sowing rate, to a depth of approximately 10mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the surface moist for at least 2 - 3 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake the first cut when the grass is 5 - 6cm tall and tillering has started.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOverseeding guidance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepare the existing turf by removing excess thatch and limiting irrigation and fertilisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply at the correct overseeding rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor best results use a disc seeder or a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rotary-hand-seed-slotter-half-inch\"\u003estudded seed roller\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/b\u003e occasionally shortages of some varieties may occur, so unavailable varieties may be replaced with a suitable alternative.
