HAYLEY
Lolium perenne
- Excellent for sport pitches with shade
- Very dense turf with high wear tolerance
- Very good recovery
- Good disease tolerance
Performing in shady conditions
In the DLF R&D tests with wear exposure in shade during winter months, Hayley showed to be one of the very best. This makes it an evident choice for many modern stadions.
Convincing results in France & in the UK
The official results are proving the value of Hayley for Sport as well as Lawn use. The visual merit during winter also confirms the recommended use for winter sport pitches. On the UK STRI list, Hayley also managed to obtain good scores for both Sport and Lawn use, and we notice the good recovery after wear and the slow growth in Lawn use.
Disease tolerance
Hayley is tolerant to rust, Microdochium and leaf spot.
