WHY TIFTUF IS BEST CHOICE FOR YOU.
Independent Research Sees TifTuf Top The Class!
The Best Couch Grass in Australia proven by extensive independent turf trials.
TURF QUALITY 🏆
Turf quality of different cultivars averaged over the effects of shade, irrigation, and wear.
TIFTUF HYBRID BERMUDA!
STRI recently conducted a trial evaluating the “Performance of bermuda (couch) grass cultivars under different shade, irrigation and wear treatments”.
The Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) conducts world leading testing and research for developing innovative techniques and products to improve turfgrass and sports surfaces.
TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda was a clear stand out performer in this trial outperforming all other available couch grasses. TifTuf is the best couch grass available in Australia.
GROUND COVER
Ground cover of different cultivars averaged over the effects of shade, irrigation, and wear.
DROUGHT
Drought stress of different cultivars averaged over the effects of shade, irrigation, and wear.
TURF COLOUR
Turf colour of different cultivars under 60% shade averaged over the effects of irrigation and wear.
DROUGHT STRESS WITH FULL SUN
Drought stress of different cultivars under full sun condition averaged over the effects of irrigation and wear.
DROUGHT STRESS WITH DEFICIT IRRIGATION
Drought stress of different cultivars under deficit irrigation averaged over the effects of shade and wear.
DROUGHT STRESS WITHOUT WEAR
Drought stress of different cultivars without wear averaged over the effects of shade and irrigation.
DROUGHT STRESS WITH WEAR
Drought stress of different cultivars with wear averaged over the effects of shade and irrigation.
WHICH GRASSES DID BETTER?
TifTuf had superior turf cover (thickness and growth) over the duration of the trial compared to all other grasses trialled. TifTuf also scored the highest NDVI which is a measure of appearance using a specialised scanning device.
WEAR RECOVERY & DROUGHT PERIOD
Summary of cultivar performance averaged over trial period. Turf cover refers to the cultivars thickness of growth and percentage of grass coverage. NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) summarises appearance of green cover within each plot.
