Conquest is a semi dwarf natural sterile selection of couch. It is bright, mid green in colour and will maintain its colour throughout the year if correctly fertilised and renovated.

Conquest has a deep root system and dense network of fine stolons and rhizomes making it a tough, hard wearing surface, with low thatch and a quick recovery period

Conquest is ideal for residential and commercial lawns where a premium evergreen finish is required.

Conquest is suitable for hard wearing areas such as sports fields, golf courses, cricket wickets and tennis courts where close mowing is required.

Conquest should ideally be mown every 7-14 days at a height of approx 20mm. Closer mowing will produce putting green appearance.In spring your Conquest lawn (as with any lawn) should be mown very low and fertilised. This removes the thatch that has built up in your lawn and allows new stolon growth.



An even surface of 75-100mm of a well drained sandy loam prepared before laying is important and annual to bi-annual renovation may be necessary, ideally during the spring or autumn months.

 

Fertilising of couch varieties is necessary to keep the lawn at optimum health. Summer fertilisation regimes should alternate between a chemical and organic fertiliser applied every 6 weeks at the equivalent rate of 10kg per 100m. In winter a single application of either a slow release fertiliser or organic type fertiliser will be adequate. 


Conquest will require frequent watering during establishment but thereafter is drought tolerant once well established. Watering rates are much lower and less often than other couches.  For information on Water Restrictions in your area, go to www.sydneywater.com.au
