Wear Tolerant
Eureka Kikuyu PBR is a stronger strain of Kikuyu grass. Its characteristic ensures that the Eureka Kikuyu has strong tensile strength, and is a faster and quicker repairer when compared to other Kikuyu's. Like any good lawn type, it requires less inputs when keeping it maintained.
Eureka Kikuyu PBR is less prone to getting Kikuyu's yellow and slime mould like other Kikuyu's are prone to. Eureka Kikuyu PBR is the only Kikuyu variety that is grown to AusGAP certifications and is backed by an LSA 10-year product warranty.

Why We Love Eureka Kikuyu For Your Home Lawn

Once established, like all lawns, we recommend you do less frequent, heavier soakings of water. We suggest watering once per week for about one to two hours, depending on the sprinkler type. This will ensure the water travels deep into the soil and encourage the lawn roots to go deeper into the soil to help make them even stronger.
"For best results, water early in the morning to enhance water absorption and promote overall plant health."
Mowing will depend on the area you're using it and the look you want. For residential properties, we recommend mowing 2-3 times a week in the growing season to ensure you keep the kikuyu to a nice, manicured look. For open space areas, mowing once per week in the growing season will keep the Eureka Kikuyu PBR maintained at a well-presented height.
"Prior to winter, we suggest mowing your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn a little higher than in summer."

"Give your lawn a complete feed: add other elements (micronutrients & other macro- nutrients) to your fertilising program."
You won't have too many concerns with lawn grubs and other pests in your Eureka Kikuyu PBR grass. Again though, we always recommend keeping an eye out for signs of pests and treating immediately.

You won't have too many concerns with lawn grubs and other pests in your Eureka Kikuyu PBR grass. Again though, we always recommend keeping an eye out for signs of pests and treating immediately.
Most common grubs that cause problems is Lawn Grub and Army Grub. Lawn Grubs attack the roots of the lawn and will make the grass appear to have dry-like symptoms (only in plague portions will they cause damage). Army Grub attack the leaf of the lawn, mostly at night and most-commonly between December and May. If you have an Army Grub problem, you'll see scalping-like symptoms come up over night. Don't stress, treat immediately with Grub Guard, or for 6 months use Aceylpran GR.
