V8 is a brand new powerhouse creeping bentgrass developed for any golf course wanting that world class look. V8 is a hybrid between two elite breeding lines selected for its close cut tolerance and improved dollar spot resistance. V8 has been seeded on golf courses worldwide and has received excellent independent evaluations in current NTEP (National Turfgrass Evaluation Program) putting green trials comparing it side by side with other commercial and experimental bentgrasses.
Characteristics
- V8 earned the #1 ranking for turf quality in NTEP's putting green trials for LPI Group 1 with locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Washington state topping Penn A-1, Declaration and all other varieties
- Dollar Spot resistance statistically equal to the top variety in NTEP
- V8 has one of the finest leaf textures of any creeping bentgrass
- Greens up in the spring earlier than Penncross for additional weeks of golf play
- V8 is a medium dark green color. Darker than Penncross and lighter than T-1
- Color persists well into the autumn with better than average frost tolerance
- Tolerates wide range of mowing heights from putting green to fairway. Some courses have mowed as low as 0.08" (2mm)
- Smooth recovery from aerification
Applications
V8 is a versatile bentgrass and is used on tees, fairways and greens. Its low thatch production makes it an excellent selection for wide areas where routine maintenance can be labor intensive such as tees and fairways. With superior heat tolerance, V8 thrives across the cool, temperate regions of the world, and it is adapted well into the transition zone between warm and cool-season areas. Providing earlier spring green- up and holding color longer into the fall, it allows for a more aesthetic appeal longer playing season. V8 and T-1 can be blended to allow for even more versatility, combining their traits to provide a stronger healthier stand that persists in challenging environments and periods of excessive use.
Seeding Rate & Planting Time
- Plant Creeping Bentgrass Penncross seed when soil temperature reaches 55 degrees in spring up until a minimum of 6 weeks before frost in fall
- Cover the Bentgrass seed to a depth not exceeding ¼" and keep seedlings moist until well rooted. Germination will take place in 7 - 15 days depending on soil temperatures, and the first mowing may be expected within 30 days, or when the plants have sufficiently rooted. Mow at a 3/4" height or lower until turf is established. Limited use of the Creeping Bentgrass putting green area can be expected in 6 weeks.
A-List Turf
V8 is currently certified with the Alliance for Low Input Sustainable Turf. to ensure the integrity and independence of the program, testing is conducted by nationally recognized cooperators and selected on a regional basis to insure environmental adaptability. These cooperators also participate on an advisory board to further influence protocols. Participation in the independent and geographically diverse National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) is strongly encouraged. Universities involved include: Purdue, University of California, North Carolina State, Rutgers, Utah State, University of Wisconsin, Michigan State, University of Connecticut, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, Oregon State, & Iowa State.
The Grass Seed Certification program establishes the genetic purity and germination of varieties, blends, and mixtures. The certification process begins with the proper field history before production and continues through the bagging of a grass seed lot with every step independently verified by Seed Certification personnel. Each bent grass seed lot to be certified is sampled by Certification personnel and tested in the state seed laboratory, so the grass seed you buy is the seed that was tested If even one standard in this process failed, the lot is uncertified. You can rest assured that your bent grass seed is certified! |
