SEEDING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SEEDING RATE:
- Overseeding Existing Turf: 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Tees: 2 to 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Fairways: 2 to 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Lawns, Parks & Other Areas: 2 to 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
- Sod Production: 90 to 130 lbs. per acre
- GERMINATION & ESTABLISHMENT: Keep seedbed moist to enhance germination. Under ideal conditions, germination should begin within 10 to 12 days and be complete within 21 days. The stand will be fully established in 35 days.
- FERTILIZATION: For optimum results apply 0.50 to 0.75 lbs. of N/1,000 sq. ft. per application during the growing season. Requires 4 to 8 lbs. of N/1,000 sq. ft. per year. Rates may vary due to geographical differences and agronomic preferences.
- MOWING: ½ to 2½ inches, depending on use. Ideally maintain at 1 to 2 inch mowing height. Do not remove more than 1/3 of total plant height with each mowing.
- WATERING: After establishment, a deep watering program is recommended to improve root depth. Irrigate according to turfgrass needs for your geographical area.
