Overseeding with 100 % Lolium

Overseeding with 100% Lolium (perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne) is a particularly effective method of rapidly regenerating damaged or thin turf. Lolium perenne is characterised by rapid germination, vigorous growth and good wear tolerance. This allows the sward to close again relatively quickly after intensive use.

Rapid germination and early development;

High tolerance to foot traffic and good wear resistance;

Rapid regeneration after intensive use;

Formation of a dense, resilient sward;

Ideal for sports pitches, training areas and heavily used turf;

Suitable for rapidly closing bare patches and thin areas.

Using only Lolium perenne enables targeted overseeding with a grass species known for rapid regeneration and high wear tolerance. On intensively used sports and other turf, its rapid development can help close gaps promptly and restore usability.

For the best result, prepare the area before overseeding. Remove thatch and dead plant material where necessary, and establish good seed-to-soil contact. The seed rate depends on the condition and use of the area. After seeding, sufficient, even moisture is crucial, particularly during germination and establishment.

After emergence, fertilise as required and mow regularly. Avoid cutting too low during establishment. Balanced nutrition and a water supply matched to demand support a dense, hard-wearing sward.

Overseeding with 100% Lolium is particularly relevant to sports pitches, training areas, recreational football pitches and other intensively used turf. It provides a rapid way to regenerate worn areas and sustainably improve sward resilience.

Note: the optimum seed rate, care and fertilisation plan should always be adapted to the site, soil, season and actual turf use.
