When the U21 European Championship starts on June 11th in Denmark, the turf is

ready and trimmed for the tournament. DLF-TRIFOLIUM is grass supplier to the

majority of the Danish Superliga stadiums, including the stadiums in Herning, Viborg,

Aalborg and Aarhus.

Thanks to our research activities, our portfolio of grass seed contains varieties with

the best characteristics for sports fields. From our portfolio we have handpicked

varieties for the Masterline mixtures that form the basis of the pitches. The

Masterline mixtures contain wear tolerant and fast establishing ryegrass varieties

and are specially formulated for overseeding on football pitches with hard wear.

The good experience with the grass from last year's championship in South Africa

have resulted in the development of a new Masterline mixture for the Danish market.

This mixture is particularly suited to repair wear and winter damage on the football

pitch, e.g. in the goal area.

- We have combined the best of the two grass species - Perennial Ryegrass and

Westerwold. The specific benefit of Westerwold is that it germinates and establishes

faster than Perennial Ryegrass - even at lower temperatures. This makes it ideal

for early repair of winter damage. With AXCELL A, the bare patches are faster reestablished

and afterwards the permanent and durable general ryegrass takes over.

- We are overseeding the pitches 6-7 times during the season. The recent overseeding

was conducted in early May with Masterline, and the grass looks absolutely perfect,"

says groundsman at Herning Stadium, Anders Nielsen. Herning Stadium will host

the matches between Spain, England and Ukraine in the first round as well as the

semifinal on June 22nd.
