BAR 7 RPR is an outstanding and innovative 100 percent perennial ryegrass blend predominantly for use on winter sports pitches. Recent advances in breeding have resulted in the introduction of a distinctive new cultivar Barclay II (25 percent), otherwise known as Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass or simply RPR. RPR is unique due to its creeping growth habit, made possible through the production of elongated tillers.

These elongated tillers are growth shoots emerging from nodes at the base of each plant. They creep horizontally just below the surface, and are capable of developing roots at the internodes, creating entirely new grass plants. RPR's creeping growth habit results in fast establishment, excellent wear tolerance, and unparalleled recovery capability

More information about RPR research and development can be found in our dedicated RPR Newsletter, available on our website at www.bar7rpr.co.uk

New to BAR 7 RPR for 2013 is Barorlando (25 percent). It's a "standard" perennial ryegrass in the sense that it does not have creeping properties, but "standard" is hardly a suitable description for the new #1 ranked sports grass on Table S1 STRI/BSPB Turfgrass Seed 2013! Incredibly, it scores highest on Table S1 for live ground cover, visual merit and shoot density, and has the joint highest visual merit score of any grass for any use in the UK! Barorlando also has superb tolerance to leaf spot and a vibrant mid-green colour.

Mixture synergy is enhanced further with the inclusion of Bareuro (25 percent) and Barillion (25 percent). Bareuro offers exceptional recovery from wear, fusarium tolerance and cool temperature germination. Barillion is a true, all-rounder across a spectrum of traits. Already a firm favourite of many Premier League clubs, this new improved 2013 formulation looks set to spread in more ways than one!
