Characteristics:
SR 4600 is a new perennial ryegrass that is the result of years of cooperative research between Rutgers University and Seed Research of Oregon. SR 4600 traces its origins back to 33 clones selected at Rutgers University for improved Gray Leaf Spot resistance, very high turf quality, improved color, summer stress tolerance, and a spreading growth habit. Progeny of those clones were sent to Seed Research of Oregon’s research facility where further screening was completed for higher seed yield, colour, and improved stress and disease resistance in the production environment. SR 4600 has a demonstrated an improved Winter active growth profile which provides a marked advancement over other varieties. SR 4600’s dark green color and high stress tolerances makes it ideal for a variety of professional turf applications. It blends well with other perennial ryegrasses for golf course fairways, sports fields, sod production and home lawns. It also mixes well with Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescues. When blended with other perennial ryegrasses or mixed with Poa trivialis or fine fescue SR 4600 makes an ideal Winter over seed on permanent bermuda grass turf.
