What You May Not Know...
Certification of seed lots is something that is done
to assure the buyer of the type and quality of seed.
Certification guarantees the purity of the cultivar, fewer
weed seeds, lower other crop contaminates and inert
fillers. Certified seed lots are indentified by a Blue
Certification Tag.

In New York State, seed companies are not required to list the percentage of flourescence in Perennial Ryegrass. Flourescence can indicate
the presence of Annual Ryegrass in a Perennial Ryegrass lot. This is a natural occurance which cannot be avoided, but can be minimized.
At Preferred Seed Company, Inc., our standards are to reject any lot of Turf Type Perennial Ryegrass which contains excessive amounts of
Flourescence (Annual Ryegrass). It is possible to purchase seed lots which have in excess of 8% flourescence at a cheaper price. We choose
to not offer these substandard seed lots.

NATIVE & NATURALIZED SEED
Preferred Seed Native Harvest Brand
For Erosion Control, Conservation & Reclamation
Preferred Seed’s Native Harvest Brand Naturalized and Native grasses, sedges, rushes, herbaceous flowering plants and wildflowers
are distinctively selected for the construction of plant communities throughout the Northeast.
What is a native plant?
A native plant is one that existed in nature where it is currently growing. In the US that would be before
the European settlement of the Americas.
Example: Little Bluestem, Indian Grass, Fox Sedge, Green Bulrush
What is a naturalized plant?
A naturalized plant is a species not native to an area that grows, reproduces and maintains itself without interference.
Example: Creeping Foxtail, Perennial Ryegrass, Timothy, Orchardgrass
What is a warm season grass?
Warm season grasses break dormancy later in spring and experience most of their growth during the warmer
summer months. They have extensive root systems so they are very drought tolerant. They go dormant early
in the fall after a freeze. Planting should occur in the late spring.
Example: Big Bluestem, Side Oats Grama, Lovegrass, Deer Tongue, Switch Grass
What is a cool season grass?
Cool Season grasses start their growth early in the spring and continue growing as long as moisture and cooler
temperatures prevail. Their growth slows, if not goes dormant, during the hot, dry months of summer. They actively
begin growing again in the cool moist months of late summer and fall. Plantings should occur in spring, late
summer or fall.
Example: Wild Rye, Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Mannagrass, Bentgrass

Seed Aide..........................................................................................................50 lbs.
Only SeedAide® combines cellulose and wood fiber mulch, organic
tackifier and bio-stimulant for superior turf establishment.
• Expanding cellulose/wood fiber mulch granules enhance
germination and seedling emergence by holding seed in
place and absorbing water
• Organic tackifier reduces soil erosion, water runoff and seed
wash out
• Biostimulant increases root mass and stress tolerance for
better grass establishment
• Tests prove that granular properties and texture result in greater
water absorption and soil coverage than competing brands
• Can be applied by hand, with high-volume drop spreader or
large-opening broadcast spreader
• Ideal for small area repairs, or as a leave behind for touch up
work on larger, hydraulic mulch projects
• Completely weed-free

Enkamat® TRM
Manufactured by Colbond, Inc. Enkamat is a three-dimensional nylon Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM)
made of polyamide (nylon) filaments thermally fused at their intersections to create a homogeneous
matrix. Ninety-five percent of the matrix is open space, which supplements nature’s own erosion control
system by reinforcing plant root systems. As the roots grow, they become entwined within the lofty and
open Enkamat matrix, creating an extremely stable cover. When fully vegetated, Enkamat can double the
effectiveness of natural vegetation and replace hard armor systems at a fraction of the cost. Enkamat‘s
tough root-reinforcing system anchors vegetation and protects against hydraulic lift and shear forces
created by high-volume discharges. It can withstand velocities greater than 20 feet per second and
shear stresses of 10 pounds per square foot. Developed in 1972, it is the original TRM and has been
approved by numerous state and federal agencies. We also offer the Profile GreenArmor System. Used
in conjunction with Profile’s hydraulically applied erosion control and vegetation technologies, the
GreenArmor System offers a more aesthetically pleasing, environmentally superior and cost-effective
means of protecting high-discharge waterways and steep slopes.

Curlex® Sediment Logs
Curlex Sediment Logs use excelsior fibers to reduce hydraulic energy & filter sediment-laden runoff.
Environmentally friendly, naturally seed free, Curlex Sediment Logs. Water filters through (not underneath)
the diameter of the porous, interlocked fiber log matrix. As it does, velocity is naturally reduced and
sediment is collected on the upstream side of the excelsior fiber log. Install Sediment Logs over bare soil
and/or biodegradable & permanent erosion control blankets, on steep slopes as a wattle, around drains
for inlet protection, or around job sites for perimeter control.
Typical Applications: Ditch bottoms, swales and over bare soils.

Revolution™
Aqueduct Soil Surfactant
Revolution is a patent-pending technology
that extends turf’s natural antioxidant activity
and significantly increases stress tolerance
by balancing air-to-water ratios in the soil.
By providing better moisture access and gas
exchange in the rootzone, Revolution improves
overall turf health and makes it much more
resilient under all types of stresses. Keeping
water moving consistently into and through
the plant increases photosynthesis, leading
to increased production of non-structural
carbohydrates. It also boosts the efficiency of
other cellular processes, keeps the leaf turgor
stable for more consistent play, and maintains
evapotranspiration rates to keep the turf canopy
cooler. Revolution lets you gain control of
the rootzone conditions so that your turf can
perform to its greatest potential. Revolution
is exceptionally safe on fine turf species and is
backed by Aquatrols’ exclusive money-back
performance guarantee.
Aqueduct treats existing water management
problems anywhere on the course, guaranteeing quick recovery from localized dry spots
and other water-related turf stress. Aqueduct
improves water penetration, reduces water
repellency, and increases water movement into
and through soils. This results in rapid recovery
of problem areas and lessens the potential for
wilt and turf stress.

Liquefied Sea Plant Extract
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
Available Phosphoric Acid (P2O5)...................2.00%
Soluble Potash (K2O)............................................2.00%
Derived from Kelp Extract, Phosphoric Acid
PanaSeá Plus® Liquefied Sea Plant Extract
builds bigger, stronger root systems, increases
turf tolerance to various stresses, improves
quality and color and also accelerates seed
germination. As its name implies, it is a
solution for many of the common problems
that affect golf courses and sports turf –
problems that arise from the highly intensive
maintenance regimens to which turf grasses
are subjected, as well as seasonal stresses
like heat and drought.
The Result You Want:
Bigger, Better Roots
The most important way PanaSeá Plus
contributes to plant growth and health is
through root establishment and root biomass
development. This is because the health of the
root system dictates the health of the plant.
Knowledgeable superintendents understand
that the causes of problems start long before
symptoms are visible. They understand the
need for aggressive agronomic intervention
and they start with programmed PanaSeá
Plus applications as soon as they start
mowing. The outcome is significantly
healthier, denser, deeper root systems. Bigger,
better root systems come from programmed
applications of naturally occurring cytokinins
and other beneficial constituents contained
in PanaSeá Plus. PanaSeá Plus not only
outperforms synthetic cytokinins, but also all
other biostimulants.
During high stress periods when plants stop
producing their own hormones, PanaSeá Plus
provides necessary cytokinins to stimulate
and sustain cell division in root tissue. This
proactive biostimulation strategy helps to
offset the negative impact on root development
from shrinking internal cytokinin production.
PanaSeá Plus is a proprietary blend of several
liquefied sea plant extracts. It’s also the
richest single source – more than twice that
of its nearest competitor – of naturally
occurring cytokinins.

SPRAY PATTERN INDICATOR
• Identifies exactly where your spray is being applied to the turf
– Eliminates overlap, which studies have shown to be as much as
25-50% when no color is used (Think of the cost savings)
– Eliminates misses, particularly important when a weed or pest is
allowed to remain
– Identifies sprayer malfunctions, clogged nozzles and incorrect
height are constantly monitored
• A highly visible blue or green that can be used at low amounts
– Color chemistry studies have indicated that a transparent blue
over green is more cost effectively different than any other color
– Blue gives a darker green appearance that quickly fades to the
turf’s natural color, providing minimal distraction to the golfer
• Non-staining so that it washes off skin, clothing and equipment
– Blazon is the same chemistry that is used in washable markers
– Polymeric colorants by their very nature do not bind with fabrics,
which is exactly what dyes were designed to do!
• Blazon is temporary, so that it fades in sunlight or washes off
with irrigation or rainfall

TrueFoliar
®
™
Proven at Cornell University
Results: In an independent research trial at Cornell University
in 2003, the Milliken Emerald Isle True Foliar® Nutritional
Program provided great quality with extremely low inputs
— 80% less N than other plots. The other fertility programs
provided 3.5-4.0 lbs. of N per 1,000 sq. ft. from June to
September, compared to a more appropriate seasonal
amount of less than 1 lb. of N from Emerald Isle True Foliar®
nutrition. Even though there was a large difference
in the amount of N applied, there was no statistically significant difference in turf quality.

NAME
Identifies the seed mixture, blend, variety or species contained
in the package.
2
SEEDING RATE
The amount of seed by weight per given area required to
establish a new lawn on bare soil in a reasonable amount
of time, typically a complete fall and spring season.
If overseeding, reduce seeding rate by half.
3
LOT NUMBER
Number assigned when packaging the variety, mixture or
blend. Needed for tracing purposes.
4
TEST DATE
The date seed purity and germination were tested. Qualifies
seed lot for sale in New York for 15 months. Other state seed
laws may vary.
5
PURITY
Percentages indicate the proportion of the seed variety or
species by weight, not seed count.
6
SEED TYPE
Identifies the seed species and cultivar (variety) contained in
the package.
7
GERMINATION
Percentages represent the amount of viable seeds that
germinate under ideal conditions. This varies with the
grass species.
8
ORIGIN
When seed quantities account for more than 5 percent of the
mixture or blend, the label must show the state or country
where the seed crop was grown. This has no bearing on
grass adaptation.
