Hancock

Hancock

Hancock Perennial Ryegrass (IS-PR 479) is the result of a long term breeding program for very dark green color, and higher tiller density. The high tiller density contributes to excellent wear tolearnace and fast recovery. Hancock has a very fine leaf texture. The dark green color persists into the winter and it has early spring green up. This makes it ideal for both overseeding and permanent turf. Hancock is also very salt tolerant for improved performance with effluent water or in salt exposed sites. Hancock is naturally endophyte enhanced, repelling and killing surface feeding insects. Perfect for homelawns, parks, sportfields, golf courses, and other high use areas. Ideal for winter overseeding of warm season turf.
