Description

Exceptional leaf texture, superior density, improved mowing quality and a genetic dark green color combine to give ASP0113 the ultimate in turf quality. ASP0113 is a new, elite perennial ryegrass in the ASP lineup that was developed using multiple cycles of selection from superior genetics and incorporates germplasm derived from one of our top performing NTEP variety’s, ASP6003. One key characteristic of ASP0113 is exceptional turf density which is achieved by this varieties aggressive tillering activity. A complete disease package makes ASP0113 a variety that will perform in a wide variety of climatic conditions from permanent plantings in northern regions to overseeding areas of the south.
