DensityFineness of leavesWear toleranceRust resistance

Excellent recovery after traffic damage
High live ground cover = few weeds & high persistency
Healthy bright green colour
High rust tolerance


First choice for intensive frequent use

POSEIDON recovers very well after severe damage due to frequent play and is one of the best ways to secure a long playing season.

Covers the ground

Weeds, including Poa annua will struggle to invade the pitch - POSEIDON maintains high live ground cover year round.

Improved salt tolerance

POSEIDON shows improved salt tolerance in recent tests and should be considered where soil or irrigation water quality are of concern.

Best choice for overseeding and repair

Groundcover and excellent regrowth is of outmost importance for optimising pitch care at the lowest cost.

Slow regrowth

Despite excellent recovery the regrowth is slow with less cuttings as a consequence.
