 Agrostis Golf Management
Particularly interested in facilities that have not achieved their full potential, Agrostis is expanding its presence through acquisition, new development, management contracts, and consultation services.
In the case of a new golf development project, with or without a residential component, we prefer to be involved with the development team from design, through construction, grow in and day to day management of the course once it has opened.
Agrostis has worked with a number of developers and builders whose projects were integrated with the actual Golf course.

In more slender specimens from Agrostis (bent grass) the maximum width of the body is reached only at the level of spermatheca.

 Harmaja: Agrostis pumila
Agrostis "pumila L.", three different kinds of dwarfed appearing grasses from Finland (three plants to the left: Lohja, Jalassaari, 2000; three plants to the right: Lohja, Hermala, 1991).
It is interesting that different kinds of infected plants were found in the Hermala locality: the two small plants (height up to 4.5 cm) have unusually broad glumes and the infected ovary is ellipsoid, while the taller plant (height up to 11 cm) has narrow glumes and a fusiform infected ovary.
The plants from Jalassaari (height up to 8 cm), likewise appearing a dwarfed Agrostis, are not infected; it is not even quite sure whether they belong to A.

-tolerant forms of the grass Agrostis tenuis have been selected to grow on these soils [adult plants at 20~40m], but are poorly adapted to non-contaminated soil [adult plants at 0].
Wind-borne pollen is carried downwind, such that the seedling population at 60 ~ 100m downwind are more tolerant than the adult plants.
