description 007 Creeping Bentgrass Overview
007 is a cultivar of creeping bentgrass, Agrostis stolonifera, used in intensively managed turf, including golf-course putting surfaces. Rutgers turfgrass evaluations classify it as highly tolerant of dollar spot relative to many other bentgrass cultivars, a disease-related trait that distinguishes it in cultivar comparisons. It is therefore most relevant to turf managers selecting cool-season grass for fine-textured, closely mown playing surfaces.
help 007 Creeping Bentgrass FAQ
What kind of grass is 007 creeping bentgrass?
007 is a cultivar of Agrostis stolonifera, also called creeping bentgrass. Rutgers released it in 2006 for high-quality turf applications such as golf-course greens and fairways.
Why is 007 creeping bentgrass used on golf courses?
It produces dense, fine turf that can be maintained at the very short mowing heights used on putting greens. Its broad genetic base also makes it attractive where turf managers want a resilient creeping bentgrass cultivar.
How resistant is 007 to dollar spot disease?
Rutgers trials place 007 among the most dollar-spot-tolerant bentgrass cultivars in the comparison. That does not make it immune, but it can reduce disease pressure relative to highly susceptible cultivars. [Rutgers turfgrass guide](https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/download.php?strPubID=E324)
Is 007 creeping bentgrass suitable for an ordinary home lawn?
It is primarily a specialized cool-season turf cultivar for golf and closely managed turf, not a general-purpose lawn seed. Its low mowing requirements and disease-management needs can be excessive for a normal residential yard.
