Penncross Creeping Bentgrass Turf Seed is known for its aggressiveness, vigour and wear tolerance making it a natural choice for greens, tees, and fairways. Penncross’s ability to perform under a wide range of conditions makes this bentgrass adaptable virtually anywhere.
- In the US, Golf Course architects have specified Penncross for areas of extreme cold and heat, and Penncross has survived humidity where couch has been the standard.
- Penncross is designed for extensively managed golf greens and tees and lawn bowling surfaces.
- Penncross Creeping Bentgrass thrives as a permanent turf in cooler regions of Australia and performs well in areas north of the transition zone with intensive management.
Estalbishing and Seeding Penncross Creeping Bentgrass
Penncross can be seeded from 0.25-0.5 kilograms per 100 square meters depending on the application. Cover seed to a depth not exceeding 6mm and keep seedlings moist until well rooted.
Germination will take place in 7-15 days depending on soil temperatures and may be reduced by soaking or pre-germinating seeds prior to sowing. Oversow existing turf surfaces at about half the new seeding rate.
Maintaining Penncross Creeping Bentgrass
- The first mowing may be expected within 30 days, or when the plants have sufficiently rooted.
- Mow at a height of 19mm or lower until turf is established.
- Limited use of the area can be expected in 6 weeks.
- Penncross performs best in soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8.
- It has a moderate nitrogen requirement with 0.5-1 kilogram of actual N per 100 square metres per year adequate in most situations.
- Penncross’ optimum mowing height is 4.5mm to 8mm but can be adjusted higher or lower depending upon maintenance practices and intended use.
- Penncross performs best on a sandy soil and tolerates clay soils with adequate drainage.
- Generally most bentgrasses do not perform well in wet areas, however, Penncross can tolerate saturated soil conditions for short periods of time.
