Germinal provides an all-in-one seed and fertiliser sports pitch renovation package which includes:

  • Germinal's A20 Premier Ryesport seed mixture

  • An appropriate selection of fertiliser products

The complete package provides grounds staff with everything required to renovate pitches and create a sustainable playing surface within six weeks of seeding.

Seed element

The seed element of the A20 Seed & Feed package provides a combination of four top-performing species of perennial ryegrasses: 10% Eugenius, 45% Calico, 20% Eurosport and 25% Eurocordus. Together, these cultivars create a dense sward with excellent fineness of leaf, a good cleanness of cut, robust levels of disease resistance and fantastic post-winter recovery. The standard seed mixture can also be customised, allowing groundsmen to create a bespoke mixture to meet their specific needs.

Fertiliser component

For the fertiliser component of the A20 Seed & Feed package, a soil- or sand-based nutrient programme can be selected. A third option, for park pitches and local community pitches, is also available. All three nutrient programmes are FACTS-approved and have been designed to enable the new sward to achieve the best possible results in terms of seedling establishment and sward development. Each package contains a selection of phased release fertilisers and advanced soil conditioners which provide the necessary nutrients and trace elements required during the renovated pitch’s growing-in phase.
