007XL new creeping bentgrass

What does it take to classify as a member of the SUPER BENTS?

Only an advanced generation, highly refined bentgrass variety, bred for genetically enhanced disease resistance and scientifically designed for use on closely maintained golf greens, fairways and tees can obtain classification as "One of the SUPER BENTS™."

The elite, environmentally-friendly turf performance of SUPER BENTS™ are the result of meticulous testing by Seed Research of Oregon and DLF Pickseed that exceeds all industry standards and removes undesirable weeds and crop like Poa annua and Poa trivialis.

Current SUPER BENTS™ Class:

The most genetically advanced creeping bentgrass available today. It is the only 5th generation variety in the market and has scored the No. 1 rating in the Rutgers turf evaluation trials for four years straight in both greens and fairways (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020). 007XL has superior turf qualities – fine leaves and uniformly dense – and exceptional Dollar Spot and Anthracnose resistance. It also excels because of its high wear tolerance, early spring green up, and cool weather performance.
