Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety Eldorado belongs to the group of dwarf turf-type varieties. Its distinctive features are a slow growth rate, which reduces the need for frequent mowing, as well as higher stand density and finer leaf texture compared to older forage varieties.

The variety is used for creating high-quality ornamental turf and is frequently included in lawn grass mixtures. Its characteristics, such as density and texture, have been evaluated in specialized industry turfgrass variety lists and field adaptability studies.
