Turfgrass Seed 2011, the definitive buyer's guide to which quality cultivars perform best in independent trials conducted by the Sports Turf Research Institute, shows DLF Trifolium's varieties heading many of the league tables across the spectrum of grasses and sector applications

Each year, The British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) and STRI collaborate to produce the Turfgrass Seed, which reports comprehensive results of available varieties in trials designed to test suitability for use in winter and summer sports pitches, lawns, tennis courts turf and general landscaping, and use in the intensive management practised by golf clubs and bowling greens.

The guide presents the best available interpretation of correctly designed, accurately analysed and independently supervised trials for professional users of high quality amenity grass cultivars.
