Lolium multiflorum

NuSprint

NuSprint

NuSprint turf type annual ryegrass was developed by OreGro Research for those who need a cost effective, disease resistant variety that transitions quick from cool-season to warm-season turf in the spring. With turf professionals in mind, NuSprint is an alternative for overseeding warm season grasses and goes well as a component in fine turf seed mixtures that include perennial ryegrass, fine fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass.

Key features

  • High-quality turf
  • Darker green color, finer leaves
  • Improved establishment and transition over perennial ryegrass
  • High disease resistance
  • Provides excellent root mass
