Meeting a Need
Village Green was specifically selected to meet the needs of the commercial turf market. These needs included:
- Visually aesthetic public open space and playing fields.
- Year round high performance playing fields and other sports turf areas.
- Reduced environmental impact – less water, less fertilizer and less chemicals.
- A highly adaptable turfgrass that can perform under varying soil types and climatic conditions.
- A pure and genetically stable strain of Kikuyu.
Developing A Solution
To find a solution a series of selection trials were conducted from 2003 to 2008 around Australia comparing over 70 strains. The stand out performer across all climates and conditions was Village Green. The testing involved taking measurements of growth rate, height, greenness, stolon thickness and root volume.
Trials were conducted in harsh conditions with temperatures ranging from 40 degrees centigrade in the summer to minus 3 degrees in winter.
Village Green has been developed in Australia for Australian conditions. There is no other Kikuyu that has gone through such a market driven rigors testing and selection program.
VG is a premium turf variety which is far superior to common Kikuyu.
Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) for Village Green was granted by IP Australia in June 2008. Plant Breeders Rights certificate and trade mark protection is a sign of a quality grass.
Village Green has been developed using scientific principles – principles you can trust.
