Kentucky Bluegrass Engineered for Performance

HGT (Healthy Grass Technology) is a groundbreaking innovation in the world of Kentucky bluegrasses. This technology, which features the durable and disease-resistant Barvette HGT, was developed by Barenbrug under harsh climatic conditions with the specific aim for quick establishment, disease and pest resistance, and heavy traffic tolerance. Extensive trials conducted by the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) under varying climates and conditions have underscored Barvette HGT's superior performance, ranking it as #1 or within the top statistical group across 16 different bluegrass traits in the 2005-10 Kentucky bluegrass NTEP trials.

HGT proves itself excellent at

an extremely aggressive

growth habit.

In its development phase, Barvette HGT was derived from parent stock known for its exceptional traffic tolerance. For years prior to its release, it underwent rigorous traffic-simulation studies, demonstrating not only its resilience to traffic but also its unique ability to recover rapidly from traffic-induced damage.


Furthermore, an additional three years of research in the Mid-Atlantic region confirmed its outstanding resistance to diseases, notably summer patch and stem rust. After more than a decade of dedicated turfgrass breeding and three years of professional usage, Barvette HGT's popularity and demand continue to grow each year. Owing to its swift establishment, durability, and recovery capabilities, HGT Sod has set a new standard for Kentucky bluegrass for sports turf and golf courses.

Restoration Project at Oakmont Country Club

Oakmont Country Club went through a restoration ahead of hosting a major championship, including a bunker renovation. Mike McCormick, superintendent, tells us about the process and why they chose HGT sod on the bunker faces, highlighting its establishment and adaptability.
