NEXUS XR turf-type perennial ryegrass is one of the latest breeding developments in perennial ryegrass that combines the attractiveness of very dark green color with improved disease resistance. This combination of deep, dark-green turf, and extra disease resistance makes NEXUS XR ideal for use on fairways, athletic fields, home lawns and other locations where high quality, dark turf is desired.  NEXUS XR is also perfect for adding dark brilliant color to a bluegrass or tall fescue mixture, as well as great for blending with other perennial ryegrass for overseeding applications.

Extra Traffic Tolerance

Many turf applications have extra pressure from wheel or foot traffic, as well as disease pressure.  With NEXUS XR, you can expect fairway-quality turfgrass that can withstand the extra pressure. Data from for locations throughout the states indicates that NEXUS XR has what it takes to handle the stress of heavy traffic. In fact, in Mead, Nebraska, NEXUS XR was the top scoring variety during the middle of the summer (Aug-Sept.), in trials that applied 8-12 passes a week with a wheeled golf traffic simulator.

Disease Resistance and Other Strengths

Additionally, data indicates NEXUS XR has good resistance to many diseases including red thread, dollar spot, brown patch, pythium, and pink snow mold.  NEXUS XR has also shown good resistance to weed and poa annua pressure, as well as tolerance to the herbicide Velocity® (bispyribac-sodium.)

NEXUS XR  is best planted on fertile, neutral pH soils during the cooler seasons of the year, such as spring and fall.  If needing to plant during other times, plan on additional overseeding. For a thick, lush turf, the following seeding rates are recommended:
