Monaco™

Cynodon

  • #1 performing variety in 2016 & 2017; traffic tolerance in Lexington, KY
  • Highest seeded turf quality
  • Handles high traffic
  • Very drought tolerant

In turf quality alone, Monaco is statistically similar to, or even better than 91% of varieties tested in the 2013 NTEP trials. This includes vegetative types!

 

Monaco is a synthetic variety produced by the intercrossing of five clonal parent lines which results in superior genetic integrity and seed quality year in and year out. A highly ranked variety tested in the 2013 NTEP trials, Monaco possesses a rare combination of traits in exceptional wear tolerance, winter hardiness, and spring green-up. These traits produce a quality grass surface that appears early, withstands amultitude of stresses, and stays late into the year.

 

USES

Monaco can be used as a durable, high quality playing surface in golf courses, sports fields, and parks. It is not recommended to construct a putting green with Monaco as a base. Monaco also makes a very high quality lawn that can be easily repaired when needed via seed, or used to repair other bermudagrass areas. In terms of matching other varieties, Monaco has a medium to dark green color and is similar in leaf texture to vegetative types such as Patriot, Astro, and Celebration.

Cynodon Dactylon

Often referred to as ‘common’ Bermuda grass, this is a highly variable, warm-season specie within which substantial differences exist in colour, texture, density, vigour, and environmental adaptation. Adapted to a wide range of soil conditions. Although Bermuda grass is generally not very cold tolerant, some newer varieties do tend to adapt well in colder conditions.
