Pickseed - 777 Bentgrass Seed - 25 LB Bucket

777 (Triple Seven) Creeping Bentgrass is the product of twenty years of research and development by Dr. Richard Hurley, Dr. Leah Brilman of Seed Research of Oregon and Dr. Stacy Bonos of Rutgers University. Each parental line in 777 started with selection of superior plants from golf courses and then crossing, followed by many years of trials before inclusion in this variety. This variety has shown superior performance under stress and with wear. 777 produces a turf with attractive green color, no purpling in cool weather, great heat resistance in summer and high disease resistance. 777 creeping bentgrass blends well with other leading bentgrass varieties. This variety is well adapted to all environments where creeping bentgrass can be grown. It can be planted straight or in blends for superior greens and tees.

For Use On: Greens, tees, and fairways

Maintenance

777 will tolerate the lower cutting heights utilized on many courses while maintaining high density and wear tolerance. Use on fairways will require low mowing heights and reduced fertility for superior performance.
