THE SCOTTS DIFFERENCE
The Scotts difference is in the research. Our development program is backed by the industry’s highest standards in seed harvesting, seed cleaning and seed testing. And as a result, Scotts Professional premium varieties of lawn and grass seed as well as turfgrass sod provide superior long-term performance as required by sod producers, turf grass managers, and sports turf managers alike.
Scotts Professional Seed is also on the cutting edge of trait-specific research and development. We understand the challenges that face turf professionals and have developed varieties of turf seeds to address unique turf needs.
Scotts Professional Seed Innovations: Focusing on Turfgrass Solutions
Water restrictions, environmental pressures, diseases, excessive heat, drought and wear — these are some of the pressures that impact the quality and performance of grass. Overcoming these stresses cost turf managers and turf management money and time. That’s why researchers at Scotts Professional Seed are collecting, crossbreeding and testing thousands of hybrids to discover the best parental plants to cross with our current top-performing seed varieties. Scotts ProSeed creates new blends with specific traits to develop seed that tolerates extreme heat, professional seeds for salt and wear and seed that is resist to common diseases like brown patch and gray leaf spot to provide turf management with grasses that perform, and grass that requires fewer inputs, and less costly to maintain.
