Barenbrug, the grass expert, is bringing an innovative living display to SALTEX this year. Visitors to stand G055 can get up close and personal with a sample of RPR Stadium turf – the revolutionary grass taking the stadia world by storm.

Dr David Greenshields from Barenbrug said:

“This grass seed blend has been formulated to deliver performance traits that are key to stadium environments; wear tolerance, recovery, disease resistance and camera-friendly colour.  People can visit the stand and view the seed mixture in a hybrid turf – the stolons of our unique RPR technology, knitted together with artificial reinforcement is a potent combination!  You really need to see RPR in action to understand how this self-repairing grass can form entirely new plants to counteract intense wear.”

RPR STADIUM is the result of three years of mixture trials at Barenbrug’s Cropvale research site in Worcestershire.  Simulated wear and a range of objective measurements have delivered a grass seed mixture that offers proven and unparalleled performance under criteria that are relevant to a winter sports stadium environment.
