oo7 is an advanced generation creeping bentgrass variety developed by the new Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (Rutgers University)working in cooperation with Richard Hurley, Ph.D.
Over 12 years ago, Richard Hurley, working in conjunction with Drs. C.R. Funk & Virginia Lehman, developed the very successful L-93 creeping bentgrass variety. As the name indicates, L-93 became fully available for commercial purchase by golf course superintendents in 1993, and has been a very popular & high performance variety. Since then, many advances have been made in bentgrass development to keep up with the changing needs of the modern professional golf superintendent.
Recommended uses for oo7 include seeding greens, on new courses & renovations, as well as in overseeding conversions on greens planted to older, poor performing varieties that need to be updated. This new creeping bentgrass variety will adapt well for low mowing on greens, as well as for reduced fungicide management.
Enhanced Dollar Spot resistance & superior turf quality make this variety the perfect choice for all levels of golf course projects, especially those located in stressful environments.
oo7 is incorporated in the Dominant X-treme Blend.
All individual parental clones of creeping bentgrass used in the development of oo7 were selected for improved Dollar Spot resistance, bright dark green leaf colour, excellent winter colour with no purpling & a vigorous, uniform, moderately dense growth habit.
