UNITUSTurf Type Tall Fescue
• Very dark green color year round
• Superior drought tolerance
• High stress resistance
• Cold and heat tolerance
• High Brown Patch resistance
• High endophyte levels
QUICK FACTS: Unitus (IS-TF 289) combines dark green color
with drought tolerance for superior quality with long term
performance. From the Southeast to the North, Unitus
shows excellent turf quality under high or low maintenance.
Unitus has excellent Brown Patch resistance which
contributes to its persistence. High levels of viable
endophyte contribute to insect resistance and improved
bio�c and abio�c stress tolerance, improved seedling
establishment, and reduced weed invasion.
ADAPTATION: Unitus is recommended for permanent turf
in full sun to shade in lawns, parks, sports field, sod farms,
and golf course roughs. It can be blended with Kentucky
bluegrass and other improved turfgrass species and
maintained from ½" to 4". It can be overseeded into zoysia
for a mix of cool and warm season turf to be used in the
transi�on zone around the globe.
SEEDING RATE: 8 to 10 lbs./1,000 sq. �.
