In a significant advancement for turf management, Lynkz Zoysia – a high-performance Zoysia variety developed by a BladeRunner breeding programme – has been introduced to the Asia golf market by Sports Turf Solutions. Previously identified under the trial name BRG-2, Lynkz Zoysia underwent a comprehensive three-year testing process in Vietnam and Thailand. Throughout this period, it consistently outperformed leading turf varieties such as Lazer, Primo, Trinity, P-110 and TifEagle. Lynkz Zoysia stood out for its exceptional texture, speed and low-maintenance requirements, needing significantly reduced water, pesticides and nutrients, which contributes to its sustainability in turf management. In the three years of testing, we haven't seen any sign of disease at all, which is unheard of. One of the standout qualities of Lynkz Zoysia is its remarkable resilience. Trials conducted under severe monsoon conditions demonstrated an impressive resistance to disease – an exceptional result that underscores its suitability for the challenging climates found across Asia. Lynkz Zoysia is uniquely durable and adaptable to the Asian environment. We are confident that it will become a go-to choice for golf courses aiming for high quality while minimising maintenance efforts.
