It is the quickest species to germinate and root. A mounth after coming out it already forms a fairly good turf. It is quite responsive to drought and summer heat which cause it to wither. Considerable genetic improvement work has been made on this species and numerous varietiesare available on the market. They differ for flowering time, growth rate, leaf size, distance and more.

Together with perennial ryegrass and red fescue it is an essential component in most turf mixtures. It is capable of forming an extremely dense and compact turf, thanks to its creeping characteristic: it is capable of forming new plants from its horizontally expanding roots. Watering requirements are the same as perennial ryegrass. It germinates quite slowly, therefore in mixtures it is the last component to emerge.When sown as a single species it must be sown quite near the surface, covering the seed with only 1-2 mm of soil. This can be obtained by sowing broadcast followed by packing down. It generally has larger leaves than red fescue.

This is an ideal turf grass, in fact it is medium green and very finely-leaved.

Highly interesting species, especially for hot dry climates. It is extremely drought resistant and winter hardy. It is fairly wear resistant. Its leaves are quite coarse but form a quite bright green compact turf. However, varieties have recently been selected with thiner leaves and denser foliage than forage varieties. Emergence and radication are slow, so spring-summer weeds may impair good root. However, once the lawn has been established it is considerably weed-competitive. It vegetates well in almost any type of soil. It is suitable for intense wear soccer or rugby fields in mixtures also containing perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass. 

Seeding rate: 30-50 g/mq.

It is the most intense and aggressive lawn; its leaves are not very thin but they are very wear tolerant. It has an enormous capacity of restoring the lawn when it is considerably warm and shows empty patches.It is quite hard to mow.This species has two disadvantages: very slow growth and considerably long winter vegetation stop. In winter it will stay brown for a longer or shorter time depending on temperature. Unhulled bermuda grass seed shows the same characteristics as hulled seed, with the  advantage that unhulled seed will emerge from 12 to 15 days earlier, if temperature and humidity conditions are good. .

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.

It is largely used when a very fine , slow growth lawn is needed with no special wear tolerance requirements. In winter leaves become quite yellow. Felt level (build up of dead vegetal waste) must be controlled since it may impair the growth of the lawn. Consequently it is advisable to mow it short and to air it when necessary.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.

It is the most prestigious lawn species. In Golf courses it is used alone in "greens" and in mixture in "tees". Thank to its creeping characteristic it is possible to mow it very short (5-8 mm) using possibly coil blede. It needs aboundant fertilization and high amounts of water. Può esprimere appieno le sue caratteristiche su terreni sciolti, ancor meglio su substrato di torba e sabbia. A causa dei tagli bassissimi che si faranno bisogna preoccuparsi di seminare su terreno livellato perfettamente. Per la semina si usa la stessa tecnica della Poa pratensis. In miscuglio è preferibile associarla a festuca rubra fallax o Poa pratensis. Le varietà si distinguono per colore del fogliame, per resistenza alle malattie ecc.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.

Rustic species , quite drought resistant, of a greish colour. It is suitable for the turfing of sloping grounds and for establishing fine lawns. It is generally used in mixtures.

Seeding rate: 20-30 g/mq.

Very persistant, deep root apparatus, good drought resistant species. Quite good for turfing of sloping grounds.

Seeding rate: 15-20 g/mq.

Suitable for excessively wet soils. It does not tolerate lack of water. It is considerably shadow resistant.

Seeding rate: 25-35 g/mq.

It is the most suitable species for shady areas. It does not tolerate frequent mowing. 

Seeding rate: 25-35 g/mq.

It si a very thick lawn which does not need frequent mowing. It is quite drought resistant and winter hardy. It is a very aggressive, creeping, quite shadow tolerant species.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.

It forms a lawn whic is neither particularly thick nor decorative. It does not need frequent mowing or much watering. It is scarcely wear resistant. However, it has the advantage of forming a net lawn which does not need much maintenance.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.

This species is used for technical lawns, in particular for turfing slopes and reclaiming green areas.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.  

Smaller leaves than white clover. Also the vegetation development time is very limited.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.  

Perennial deep-root plant, strongly rhizomatic. It is highly drought tolerant and is particularly suitable for sandy soils.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.

Perennial plant with root stock and stolons. Suitable for different type of soils, even highly salty ones.

Seeding rate: 5-10 g/mq.
