Choosing the right turf seed can be a daunting task. The Heritage PPG Turf Tech Tool simplifies this process, leveraging data to help you make informed decisions. This powerful tech tool analyzes millions of data points to match the perfect seed to your specific needs.
Using a Tech Tool to Eliminate Guesswork in Turf Seed Selection
The Heritage PPG Turf Tech Tool utilizes a vast database and a patented algorithm to take the guesswork out of choosing turf seed. This tech tool filters over 20 million data points and nearly 1,500 turf seed varieties from the National Turfgrass Program’s (NTEP) independent database. Whether you prioritize high disease resistance, drought tolerance, fine texture, or spring green-up, this tech tool allows you to select and rank the attributes that matter most. You can then identify the turfgrass species that best meet your requirements based on factual data, not assumptions.
Trustworthy Turf Seed Decisions with a Tech Tool
The Turf Tech Tool’s patented algorithm analyzes all species, years, attributes, and state trials to identify top performers. For each selected attribute, the algorithm identifies a “Top Performing Group.” Each variety receives an overall Turf Performance Index (TPI) score based on the average of individual attribute scores. This tech tool enables you to filter TPI scores, compare competitor products, and make decisions confidently based on objective data.
Achieving Elite Turf Seed Performance with the Right Tech Tool
Choosing turf seed tailored to your specific needs and regional conditions optimizes turf performance and minimizes inputs. Seed matched to your requirements performs better with less water, pesticides, and other resources. The tech tool’s patented indexing capabilities also allow you to view top performers across multiple attributes. This feature aids in blending for genetic diversity, enhancing turf resilience to environmental stressors.
Comprehensive Database Within the Tech Tool
The tech tool boasts a comprehensive database featuring:
- University evaluations of most turf species with over 1,000 turf varieties
- Comparisons based on 150 attributes
- National, state, and regional evaluations
- Turf seed data for specific environmental and playing conditions
Finding the Best Turf Variety with this Tech Tool
This powerful tech tool helps you:
- Identify the highest-scoring varieties for any species, attribute, and location.
- Compare seed tags for unique, custom seed blends tailored to your operations.
- Analyze varieties across multiple attributes to determine the best performer.
The Importance of Selecting the Right Turf Grass Variety
Not all turf seed varieties are equal. Some are more vulnerable to disease, insects, weeds, and environmental stress. Top-performing varieties must withstand these challenges. The Turf Tech Tool, as part of the Heritage PPG Insights Tech Tool Kit, helps you pinpoint key indexing points to select the ideal turf variety for your needs.
