Characteristics

Traffic Resilience, Rapid Recovery, and Tensile Strength

HGT Sod offers outstanding traffic tolerance and wear recovery. In research studies at Michigan State University, Barvette HGT was trialed with other high-ranked Kentucky bluegrasses. In the 2010 study of 109 commercial varieties and experimentals, Barvette HGT was the top-rated variety for wear recovery, percent ground covered, and turf quality. Likewise, in the NTEP traffic stress tests, Barvette HGT topped all other entries at both Michigan State University and Rutgers University trials.

Resistance to Summer Patch and Rust

Summer patch is a formidable turf disease that wreaks havoc on the majority of Kentucky bluegrass varieties. However, Barvette HGT, a variety of Barenbrug's Healthy Grass Technology, presents a remarkable exception. Following rigorous testing at multiple locations nationwide and in university trials, Barvette HGT has demonstrated exceptional resistance to summer patch. In fact, during the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) trials conducted at three different sites, Barvette HGT not only secured the top rank but also managed to thrive and expand into neighboring bluegrass plots severely damaged by the disease.

Triumph Over Turf Troubles: No More Grubs and Billbugs, Just Lush, Healthy Grass with HGT

White grubs and billbugs are often the culprits behind the devastation of Kentucky bluegrass turf. But not to worry! Our HGT varieties, spearheaded by Barvette HGT's top-tier performance against white grubs as demonstrated in the 2006-10 NTEP trial, offer stellar resilience against these common turfgrass insect pests. As more communities and facilities are leaning towards reducing or even eliminating the use of turfgrass insect controls, HGT steps up to the plate. Offering not just a solution, but a safe, natural, and 'green' protection for your turf, making it a champion in the face of adversity."

Sprouting Success: The Art and Science of Germination and Establishment

Kentucky bluegrass and the phrases 'quick germination' and 'rapid establishment' are rarely found in the same sentence. But HGT is here to break all the rules. With its impressive ability to germinate in less than 10 days and establish itself rapidly, HGT is rewriting the playbook. Now, fields can be ready for play sooner, fairways can undergo successful renovations faster, and tees can be brought back into use in no time. Not only that, but HGT's vigorous growth habit gives it a competitive edge against weeds. For those in bluegrass sod production, expect quicker field establishment, increased yields, and top-notch pallet quality. HGT is truly revolutionizing the game.
