Pure Seed and Atlas Turf International partnered up to produce PurePro Seeded Bermudagrass, a blend of hybrid bermudas.

“In partnership with Pure Seed, we are proud to bring to market a new seeded bermudagrass of unmatched quality,” said John Holmes, president of Atlas Turf International. “PurePro raises the level of performance sports field managers and golf course superintendents can expect from bermudagrass.”

With the goal of delivering the ultimate playing surfaces, PurePro combines the attributes of multiple varieties to produce a fine-textured, dark green, elite blend, according to the company.

Under optimal conditions, PurePro germinates in seven to 14 days. Quick establishment of a dense, hearty turf means sports fields and golf courses can be ready for play in as few as eight to 12 weeks.

The deep-rooting, dense turf is extremely traffic tolerant and meets the demands of heavy play. It also recovers quickly from injury. The blend offers excellent salt tolerance, performs well with all types of water quality and is drought-, disease- and heat-tolerant.

PurePro delivers early spring green-up and retains color late into fall. The blend can be overseeded for year-round color and play. When temperatures rise, PurePro’s aggressive growth habit allows it to transition quickly out of overseeding, the company said.

During its initial market release, PurePro is available in limited supplies.
