PREMIUM QUALITY - the AGRO CS Professional Turfs

AGRO CS has the largest turf nursery in the Czech Republic. Turf laying technology is over 100 years old and it is continually evolving. The turf is grown for 10 - 12 months and once it is sufficiently rooted and compact it is harvested with a machine that cut a mat 40 cm wide and 250 cm long (1 m2).

  • The history of our Turf nursery dates back to 2001 when the growing area was 5 ha. A year later it was 15 ha and in 2006 20 ha. The growing demand and interest have led to the fact that at present the growing area is 35 ha

The turf composition is based on many years of experience of AGRO CS regarding the production of grass seed mixtures. The grass seed mixtures are made with a respect to the climatic conditions in the Czech Republic.

  • Park turfs are usually used in public parks, around new buildings and houses. Being resistant to heavy traffic, the turfs can also be used in goal areas and as a replacement of damaged areas on sports grounds. The second type of turf that we grow is Football Profi. It is characterized by its high resistance to heavy traffic and very quick regeneration. Our turfs are used by most Czech first-league football clubs.
