Planning and Planting for Sustainable Vegetation

New advancements in seed breeding along with technologically advanced seed treatments can greatly reduce water input on turfgrass and other vegetation. New breeding of seed varieties that require a minimum of 20% less water than other varieties of the same species is now possible and bench marked through independent testing at www.waterstarqualified.com. Also, by inoculating seed with mycorrhizae, a beneficial soil fungus, up to a 30% water savings can be achieved through a natural symbiotic process. This allows non irrigated road side plantings as well as residential turf to require substantially less water, therefore increasing survivability while protecting water sheds.
