Agrostis stolonifera

007XL

007XL

007XL creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) is one of the Super Bents™ with superior qualities for use on greens, tees, and fairways. The variety 007XL is the result of a long-term bentgrass breeding program conducted at Rutgers University, New Jersey, working in cooperation with Dr. Stacy Bonos, Dr. Richard Hurley and Dr. Leah Brilman. A Super Bents™ variety, 007XL is an advanced generation bentgrass, bred for disease resistance for use on closely maintained golf greens, fairways and tees. 007XL bentgrass is the choice for courses that demand the highest quality playing surfaces while spending less money on fungicide usage - 50% less fungicides or more compared to older bentgrass varieties or predominately Poa annua turf. 007XL has excellent disease resistance to Dollar Spot, Brown Patch, Anthracnose, and Pink and Gray Snow Mold. 007XL produces a uniformly dense turf with a bright medium green leaf color. 007XL has excellent traffic tolerance and the ability to maintain a tight turf surface under an extremely low mowing height shown excellent fairway and tee performance. In addition, 007XL will not purple during the cool weather months and has excellent cool weather active growth. It will not produce a puffy, thatchy surface in summer as other bents do.
