The Grass Seed Blend That Delivers
Meeting the landscaping challenges of the Middle East is not easy for any single turfgrass. However, when the most elite seeded bermudagrasses are blended, their combined attributes create a turfgrass that is up for the task. New PurePro Seeded Bermudagrass from Pure Seed and marketed worldwide by Atlas Turf International is a blend of the industry’s highest-performing hybrid Bermuda’s. PurePro is available in the Gulf Region through Polyclean Turf Division.

Introducing PurePro seeded Bermudagrass

For landscape applications, the list of desirable turfgrass traits can be long, but the common goal is a reliable, easily maintained product meeting the needs of the user. As a blend of top quality bermudagrasses, PurePro offers the best of each of its components.

Dr. Melodee Fraser, director of Pure-Seed Testing, is the developer of Pure Pro’s primary bermudagrass component, North Shore SLT. Earning her Ph.D. in plant breeding, Dr. Fraser is familiar with the benefits of seed blends. “The genetic variation is higher in a blend, so the blend may be more broadly adapted than any of the single components alone.”

The key to creating a successful blend, according to Dr. Fraser, is combining the right parts. “Varieties should have similar morphology, so the turf is uniform. Varieties might complement traits of each other; one may establish faster, have better resistance to a disease, etc.”

The combination of Pure Pro’s components provides benefits not found in any one variety. The advantages are evident from the beginning as PurePro germinates quickly. And with quick germination comes quick grow-in allowing minimal weed intrusion. Once the surface is established, maintenance is simple. Reel or rotary mowers work equally well with less tendency for scalping than some varieties. If scalping does occur, PurePro recovers quickly.
