New seed varieties


British Seed Houses


introduced three new grass cultivars for a range of uses, from golf to summer sports and turf growing to landscaping including Escapade, a new amenity perennial ryegrass cultivar for spring 2010. Escapade has high shoot density and a very fine leaf quality rated 8.3 and 8.7 respectively,

The Redexim Group and Blec (Global) Ltd have entered into an agreement under which the two companies are working together on the design and development of new machines for the Redexim turf maintenance business. As part of the agreement


Redexim have bought the exclusive rights to the Sandmaster machine, the sand injector system,


and the


Uniseeder from the Blec range that will be manufactured and marketed by Redexim on an


exclusive basis around the world. The Sandmaster, which has proved highly popular with contractors and groundsmen since its introduction in 2003 is the only machine of its type that can inject damp materials, into the ground up to 20cm deep,

versatility when improving drainage and aeration on all types of sports turf.

ground cover. It provides an ideal blend with fescues, giving a luxuriant, attractive sward. It offers rapid recovery


from wear and a reduced requirement for repair after heavy use. Along with its exceptional visual merit and uniform summer and winter greenness, this makes Escapade an excellent choice for facilities with a busy calendar of events. This cultivar also offers


excellent resistance to Red Thread, rated 6.8. A further benefit of its durability is low maintenance costs.

thanks to its unique use of a totally mechanical drivetrain. Available as an option on all Boomer 3000 models, EasyDrive allows operators to select a fixed speed, just like a mechanical transmission, or use the control pedal to modulate their speed, just like a hydrostatic transmission. Joining the Boomer 3050 on


display was an example from the new T1500 series of compact tractors, which represents the ideal entry-level workhorse around the golf course,

from Bayer is an emulsifiable concentrate liquid for both pre and post emergence control of a wide range of weeds, plus the difficult species bindweed, in ornamental trees and shrubs. Festival is said to offer up to six months control of susceptible weeds from one application. Paul Clifton, Head of Bayer


Environmental Science UK and Ireland says “Festival will help users to continue preventing weeds as well as simply controlling the existing vegetation in shrubberies. In addition Festival has a wide window of application which fits in with all end users spraying schedules”


Fungicide gets better


Multi-purpose utility


The Tuchel Trac Quattro


launched by AFT Trenchers is a multi-purpose utility vehicle designed to access areas where heavier and larger vehicles are unable to go. Its narrow 3ft width allows it easy access through narrow entrances and its low weight of 1000kg means it can be used on soft terrain where minimum disruption is essential. The Tuchel’s four wheel steer technology is easy to operate


and maintain. Maximum visibility and stability is achieved with a central seating position accessed from either side. An ingenious quick-hitch system transforms the unit into a versatile all round utility unit with a vast range of functions such as loading, lifting, stacking, shovelling, levelling and even driving fence posts.
