Excellent Ground Covering
Excellent Ground Covering
LowBoy/Upstart is a quick germinating, fine-bladed dense variety, known for excellent cold tolerance, extensive root system, and ease of termination. LowBoy is sold internationally as Upstart.
Ideal For Sports Field Reseeding
In regions with a marked transition zone, athletic field managers and golf course superintendents who overseed the prevailing warm climate species with a temperate species during the winter months, LowBoy/Upstart provides an attractive rich green, playable surface while the prevailing warm climate species remains dormant. As an annual ryegrass, LowBoy/Upstart germinates and establishes rapidly. However, unlike most annual ryegrasses, LowBoy/Upstart is very finely leafed with superior density under close cut. LowBoy/Upstart provides a turf surface where the ball rolls easily and protects athletes who depend on solid footing.
Excellent Ground Covering
LowBoy/Upstart provides benefits above and below ground. In addition to tight-knit leaves, LowBoy/Upstart has an extensive fibrous root system. These combined features minimizes evaporation, reduce erosion and resist weeds. After its rapid establishment, Lowboy/Upstart’s low growth reduces mowings, water use, and the use of plant growth regulators, generating better sustainability and increased monetary savings.
