How is Royal Blue Plus made?

Royal Blue Plus consists of the best varieties ofFestuca arundinacea and Poa pratensison the market added with special and naturalintegrated mycorrhizal inoculumbased on useful microorganisms antagonistic to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Treated seeds: technical specificationBottosfor seeds selected for turf, it is a new methodology for preparing the most advanced formulations of lawn mixtures. This involves the introduction of so-called "natural integrated mycorrhizal inoculants" in the form of powder to avoid unwanted pre-germination of the seed in the bags, to provide maximum distribution uniformity and to indirectly counteract the main biotic and abiotic adversities of the first months of life of young seedlings.

In the formulaBottosendomycorrhizae (of the Glomus genus), the antagonistic fungus Trichoderma (in different strains) and the useful microflora constituting the so-called PGPR bacteria are present in large quantities. The result is sowing with subsequent more uniform, safe and effective tillering.

What is Royal Blue Plus used for?

Royal Blue Plus is the ideal mixture for the creation ofrustic meadowswith low maintenance requirements.
The classic 90:10 formula (90% Festuca arundinacea and 10% Poa pratensis) guaranteesrusticity, robustness, planting speed, drought tolerance.
The introduction of Poa pratensis supports the mixture with behaviorsself-healingand oflateral propagationand strongresistance to high temperatures.

What are the doses of use of Royal Blue Plus?

The recommended sowing rate is 40-50 g/m2.
The maximum doses are recommended in case of late sowing and/or imperfect tillage of the seedbed.

The importance of fresh seeds

Using old seeds is a serious mistake that can completely compromise the success of your lawn. Old seeds germinate poorly and it will be very difficult to get the lawn to cover the ground without leaving easy space for weeds.

Advice:

Ground:

deep, draining, medium-textured, but also clayey and/or loose, with a pH that can range from alkalinity to sub-acidity

Sowing period:

from March to October (skipping the months of maximum summer heat). The mixture takes 4 to 10 days to germinate depending on the soil temperature (soil temperature above 12°C)

Recommended Dosage:

40-50 g/m2. The maximum doses are recommended in case of late sowing and/or imperfect tillage of the seedbed.

Cut:

carry out the first cut when the carpet has reached 6 cm and immediately bring it to 4 cm, so that it does not jeopardize the germination of Poa pratensis. Never remove more than 30% of the vegetation present. Do not go below 40 mm. With mowing management above 60 mm, the carpet becomes coarser, with a more pronounced leaf texture. For cutting heights below 35 mm the use of helical machines is recommended.

Nutrition:

phosphate fertilization at sowing and then managing the carpet at maturity with 25 units of nitrogen m2/year, choosing specific fertilizers for lawns (programmed release nitrogen). Intervene with at least 4 annual fertilizations

Irrigation:

When planting, keep the seedbed constantly moist so as not to stop the germination process. In the summer period, irrigate with 10 mm every 2-3 days, taking care not to overwater so as not to encourage seasonal diseases. In case of shade from conifers (pines, firs, etc.) double the wetting times in the hottest periods

Phytostimulation:

plan at least 2 biostimulant treatments between July and August to increase tolerance to heat and foot traffic.

Regeneration:

use the same mixture or Royal Park for regeneration at the end of summer and/or exit from winter, carrying out a light verticut with the removal of the thatch and subsequent distribution of approximately 40-50 g/m2 of Royal Blue or Royal Park to thicken the vegetation . Then fertilize with Biostart P 12.20.15 according to the label instructions
