New freeway gives 600.000 m² of grass

DLF-TRIFOLIUM's subsidiary Prodana Seeds is providing grass seed for the 60 ha of verges surrounding the freeway.

West of Copenhagen the Frederikssund freeway is being expanded, and will be reopened for traffic in 2015. DLF-TRIFOLIUM's subsidiary Prodana Seeds is providing grass seed for the 60 ha of verges surrounding the freeway. The grass mixture is hydroseeded and is a new Fescue Masterline mixture consisting of Hard and Red fescue, Brown top, and Italian ryegrass as a “nurse crop”. The mixture establishes rapidly, is drought and salt tolerant and has sturdy roots preventing corrosion.

There is 1.5 kg grass seed to 100 square meters, this means that 9 tonnes of grass seed is needed to cover the verges of the new stretch.
