The revolutionary natural grass seed treatment that
ensures rapid germination.
HEADSTART® GOLD is the latest in performance-enhancing grass seed coatings for sports fields, golf courses,
lawns and amenity turf.
HEADSTART® GOLD is a biological germination accelerator which is the second generation of the original
HEADSTART® formula. HEADSTART® GOLD has been further developed and improved in a number of different
ways through research, testing and field trials work. HEADSTART® GOLD benefits from minerals Phosphorus,
Sulphur, Copper and Molybdenum. These nutrients stimulate root formation, development and growth, ensuring
that the seedling grass plant develops a strong root system during the critical start-up phase. This leads to better
access to moisture and nutrients and makes the grass seedling plant stronger and more resistant to stress.
In a short time, HEADSTART® GOLD can help you by giving faster germination, creating stronger roots and
ultimately, healthier and stronger amenity turf. The improved seed technology of HEADSTART® GOLD works to
help improve amenity grass establishment in all situations. This, along with quality MM seed, gives sports and
amenity turf the best possible start.
HEADSTART® GOLD comes as standard on all MM seed mixtures. MM seed offers the highest quality seed in
germination and purity standards, meeting the high demands and expectations of today's professional grass users.

FOOTBALL AND RUGBY
Selecting the correct mixture is vitally important when renovating or constructing a winter sports pitch. The
mixtures must be able to perform in different environments; from the public park pitch, to the premier league
stadium and to provide a first class sward.
MM60 has been developed over the years with these demands in mind, to provide high quality grass surfaces
across the country. The four way ryegrass blend contains top rated cultivars. These cultivars together produce
a sward that recovers from scarring and divot damage. They are quick to germinate, and establishment is rapid
thanks to the HEADSTART® GOLD treatment. Superior disease resistance along with good all year colour make
this the mixture of choice for many grounds managers.
For new pitch constructions, Universal Sport may also be used. This ryegrass and fescue mixture will establish
quickly giving a dense, hard wearing sward that has strong root growth in the early stages of sward development.
The mix contains high quality cultivars that perform in a wide range of situations.

The demand and pressure placed on the modern day greenkeeper to

In order to satisfy the needs of golfers today, it is of paramount importance to choose the best grass seed mixtures
available. Seed quality, purity and vigour are the essential building blocks for success. Don’t compromise your plans

RACECOURSES, GALLOPS AND POLO
Racecourses and polo fields have to withstand a high degree of
damage from horses over a whole season, which means that selecting
the right mixture for renovation is critical.
MM60 will provide a dense, hard-wearing surface that recovers quickly
from divots. As it is 100% ryegrass, it germinates quickly from spring
through to late autumn.
MM Universal Sport and MM22 contain ryegrass and fescues,

OVERVIEW
When selecting mixtures for landscaping
30 purposes, it is vital that due consideration 31
is given to both the end use and the
intended maintenance regime.
A non-ryegrass sward will require less maintenance, resulting in
reduced mowing and fertiliser requirements, which is better for the
environment. MM16 produces a fine looking sward that is drought and
shade tolerant. The inclusion of a range of fescues, particularly Crystal
– a top rated hard fescue – provides these key attributes. This mixture
is also very good for soil stabilisation of embankments and steep
slopes, whilst remaining low maintenance.
Where both lower maintenance and some tolerance to hard wear
are required, use MM21. This successful blend of ryegrass, fescue and
bent grass is well suited for both objectives.
MM22 will produce a hard-wearing, yet attractive sward that has
the fine-leaved ryegrass cultivars alongside the drought tolerant
fescues, which together produce an excellent year-round lawn or
landscape area.16 21
