Low-growing grass with fast establishment reduces need for mowing by 35 %!

Mow Saver offers both financial savings and environmental benefits. The basis of this spectacular innovation is smart ‘low growth’ realised via our Less Mowing Technology (LMT). After sowing, Mow Saver quickly forms a smooth, dense sward with the unique characteristic that the grass then remains short and produces little biomass (clippings), reducing the need for mowing by up to 35 %. This is possible thanks to specially selected grass varieties that conform to the unique concept of LMT.

The greatest advantages are:
- Less mowing thanks to lower growth height and slower (re)growth.
- Fast turf establishment thanks to fast-germinating varieties.
- Less grass biomass = fewer mowing sessions = less clippings.
- Less loss of organic matter thanks to less mowing and smaller clipping volumes.
 

During trials carried out over many years and in several places, Barenbrug’s breeders have succeeded in developing strong new varieties that are capable of absorbing moisture and minerals from the soil under less than optimal conditions. As these varieties are also characterised by low growth and the formation of an attractive sward they are perfect for what Barenbrug calls its ‘Less Mowing Technology (LMT)’.
