Pickseed West, a worldwide industry leader in producing fine turfgrass varieties, announces the launch of a revolutionary new transitional ryegrass, Transit 2200. Specifically designed for overseeding and nurse grass applications, Transit 2200 is the result of a patent-pending process involving an eight-year series of crosses between annual and perennial ryegrass. Transit 2200 establishes rapidly, developing a beautiful, high quality, dense turf in the fall, and transitions out quickly and completely in the spring.

Chris McDowell, Vice President of Sales and marketing at Pickseed West, states: "Through years of research and a cutting-edge, patent-pending process, Pickseed West has succeeded in creating an annual ryegrass that holds aesthetic and performance characteristics of perennial ryegrass. Other hybrids simply do not deliver performance approaching the improved level of the latest NTEP-rated perennials that Transit 2200 does."

Based in Tangent, Oregon, Pickseed West boasts more than 30 years of history in quality and service, leading the industry in breding, producing and distributing technologically advanced turfgrass varieties throughout North America and the world.
