MM13
Quality 100% fescue mixture for tees, fairways and roughs
MM13 Mix is a high-quality, traditional fine turf mixture designed for tees, fairways and roughs, particularly where low-input management is required. This versatile blend benefits from DLF’s 4salt® technology, providing improved salt tolerance for coastal influences, saline soils or poor-quality irrigation water. By incorporating selected slender creeping red fescue and strong creeping red fescue varieties screened through the 4salt® R&D programme, MM13 Mix offers improved resilience in changing environmental conditions—without compromising performance in standard turf situations.
This mixture is treated with Headstart® GOLD
- Excellent drought resistance
- Low maintenance requirements
- Good recovery characteristics
- High disease resistance
- Ideal for divotting tees and fairways

The 4salt® concept is built on years of continuous R&D in DLF’s testing facilities. The process includes: Exposing turfgrass germplasm to rising levels of salinity, identifying the most salt-tolerant species and cultivars, selecting only the highest-performing lines for 4salt® mixtures, and incorporating these elite varieties into blends tailored for saline or coastal conditions. This ensures MM13 Mix contains turfgrass varieties that:
-
Maintain strong growth under salt stress
-
Show higher recovery rates than standard mixtures
-
Continue performing well even in non-saline conditions, making MM13 a risk-free, future-proof choice
4salt® mixtures such as MM Coastal and MM13 are ideal for:
-
Coastal courses
-
Links conditions
-
Courses with variable irrigation quality
-
Areas exposed to salt spray or brackish water
