Turf Star® | RPR®

Formerly Known As RPR^®

Previously known simply as RPR^®, the product is now offered as Turf Star^® | RPR^®. While the name has changed, the seed blend and the patented RPR^® (Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass) technology remains the same. Barenbrug's new Product | Technology naming system simply distinguishes the product from the technology that powers it, making it easier to identify products across the Barenbrug lineup.

Built for Turf That Never Stops Performing

Heavy traffic can quickly thin even the best perennial ryegrass. Sports fields, golf courses, and recreational facilities need turf that not only establishes quickly but also recovers rapidly from wear throughout the season.

Turf Star^® | RPR^® was developed for professionals that demand elite turf quality under constant use. Combining Barenbrug's elite Turf Star^® perennial ryegrass blend with patented RPR^® technology, Turf Star^® | RPR^® delivers exceptional wear tolerance, rapid recovery, and outstanding turf quality while maintaining the dark green color, fine texture, and mowing quality expected from elite perennial ryegrass.

Why Choose Turf Star^® | RPR^®?

When appearance, durability, and recovery all matter, Turf Star^® | RPR^® delivers advantages that conventional perennial ryegrass simply can't match.

• Exceptional Wear Tolerance. Powered by patented RPR^® technology, Turf Star^® | RPR^® withstands heavy traffic while regenerating worn areas to help maintain a dense, playable surface.
• Rapid Germination and Establishment. Fast germination and early establishment mean you'll see emergence in as little as 7 days, helping get fields and courses back into play quickly.
• Reduced Chemical Inputs. Healthy, resilient turf naturally requires fewer herbicide and pesticide applications, helping reduce maintenance inputs while supporting long-term turf health.
• Premium Turf Quality. Combining 60% patented RPR^® technology with 40% premium perennial ryegrass, Turf Star^® | RPR^® delivers exceptional color, density, mowing quality, and playability.
• Versatile Performance. Ideal for golf courses, sports fields, recreational facilities, and fall interseeding into Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescue, and traditional perennial ryegrass.

Powered by RPR^® Technology

Turf Star^® | RPR^® performs differently because RPR^® technology grows differently. RPR^® stands for Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass, a patented technology that gives Turf Star^® | RPR^® its unique ability to recover from wear.

Unlike conventional perennial ryegrass, which grows in bunches and spreads only by producing new tillers, RPR^® produces determinate stolons that establish new daughter plants and help regenerate worn areas.

A stolon is a horizontal stem that grows along the soil surface. As RPR^® stolons grow, they form new daughter plants that increase turf density and help fill in damaged areas. This regenerative growth habit allows Turf Star^® | RPR^® to recover from traffic faster than conventional perennial ryegrass while maintaining the premium turf quality professionals expect. The result is a denser, more uniform playing surface throughout the season.

Turf Star^® | RPR^® combines:

• 60% patented RPR^® technology
• 40% premium perennial ryegrass

The result is a dense, attractive turf that establishes quickly, recovers rapidly, and continues performing under demanding conditions.

What Industry Professionals Are Saying

Golf course superintendents, sports turf managers, and parks professionals continue choosing Turf Star^® | RPR^® because recovery is just as important as initial establishment.

These grasses reduce the amount of herbicides and pesticides you use and provide great coverage. With RPR^® we'll see emergence in just seven days!
