Catch the Rising Star of Winter
Overseeding!

|
|
|
Poa trivialis has become the clear
choice of discerning turf managers for overseeding dormant
bermudagrass greens and fairways. The market has been
demanding darker green, more disease resistant Poa trivs
than has been available in the past.
TMI has spent years developing
StarDust to be one of the darkest commercial Poa trivs
for better color matches with some of today's darkest green
ryegrasses such as Evening Shade, Black Hawk, and Laredo.
University overseeding trials in Florida and Arizona have
shown StarDust is setting the next standard that other Poa
trivs can only hope to achieve!
