Specialty Grasses - Benchmark DSR Bent

Benchmark DSR Bent - Specialty Grasses
This new selection promises to set the standard for years to come. The culmination of many outcrosses, Benchmark DSR was selected for its resistance to the Dollar Spot Disease, which is common to all bentgrasses AND expensive to control. Planting Benchmark DSR can save you time and money by reducing or eliminating fungicide treatments.

In addition, Benchmark DSR is one of the darkets green bentgrasses available, has a very fine leaf texture and less thatch.

Benchmark DSR is an excellent choice for golf course greens and fairways where environmental sensitivity is tantamount.
