OnCue
is a low growing, medium dark green tall fescue cultivar developed
specifically for turf uses in the Southeastern United States, and
areas of high turf disease pressure. OnCue has a very high level
of Brown patch resistance. Brown patch is one of the most
widespread and damaging disease problems for homeowners and
professional turf users. An improved turf variety with resistance
to brown patch is a significant turf improvement.
