Although hydroseeding doesn’t afford an “instant lawn” gratification, the combination of cost, quality, coverage, erosion control and health definitely tip the scales in favor of the plentiful benefits of hydroseeding. Hydroseeding is faster and easier to install than sod, and this rapid application is managed without the downfall of extensive labor expenditures. Endophytes are fungi that infect turfgrass plants. Unlike disease-causing fungi, though, they do not harm the grass. Perennial Rye Grass, Kentucky Bluegras and Tall Fescue naturally contain, endophytes that make it either unpalatable or poisonous to surface-feeding insects such as chinch bugs, sod webworms and billbugs. Endophytes also seem to improve turf's ability to tolerate summer stress.
