General Overview
Application Areas
Tifway 419 Bermudagrass has been much preferred for sportfields over 40 years. Its highly disease-resistancy and ability of reproducing itself makes it the most durable hybrid bermudagrass. It is a warm season variety with medium sized leaves and very dark green colour. Tifway 419 roll grass is ready for use immediately after it has been laid out. However, stolon needs four weeks’ time to become ready for use.
• As a result of the tests held in 2001by NTEP (National Turf Development Programme) in the USA,it was proved that Tifway419 has more quality and durance than the new generation Tifsport.
• Tifway 419 is less salty water tolerant than SeaSpray and SeaDwarf. (Max.2000 ppm)
• Tifway419 is not shade durable. Daily it needs direct sunlight for 3-4 hours.
