Majestic Bermudagrass Seeding Instructions
Before
applying seed, loosen soil depth of four (4) to six (6) inches. Remove
all large rocks, trash and debris from the seed bed. Incorporate
organic compost or mulch and Gypsum into the bags. Rake soil to a level
grade. For best results, roll entire area using a regular lawn roller.
(Lawn rollers may be rented at most rental outlets.) Rolling is
important to firm the soil to help you get a more uniform and rapid
germination. Do not roll heavy clay or adobe soils. This may cause too
much compaction. After rolling, rake soil again to fill in any
depressions and continue rolling and raking until you have a firm and
level seedbed.
Majestic Bermudagrass Fertilization
Before
applying seed and while the soil is still lose, apply a starter
fertilizer at the recommended application rate listed on the bag.
Lightly rake into the top 1/2 inch of soil. Starter fertilizers are
high in phosphorous and are designed to help grass develop strong roots
and mature stems, before top growth begins , to ensure your lawn is off
to the best possible start.
Majestic Bermudagrass Seeding
Coated
Majestic Bermuda grass seed should be applied at a rate of
approximately three (3) pounds per 1000 sq. ft. (For a thicker stand
you may use up to five (5) pounds per 1000 sq. ft.) Spread Majestic
uniformly on the soil surface. This can be done by using the shaker
lids on the Majestic container for small areas or by using a fertilizer
spreader or drop-type spreader. A broadcast spreader may be used but is
less uniform. To ensure uniform coverage, the amount of seed to be used
should be divided in half and spread in an east-west direction and then
the other half in a north-south direction. Cover the seed with a seed
cover or top dressing using the recommended application rate on the
bag. Seed should not be planted at a depth of more than 1/4 inch of
soil. Roll entire area again and wet thoroughly. Soil should be kept
moist until seedlings reach at least 1 inch in height. If the seedbed
is allowed to dry out the seed will not survive.
When to Plant Majestic Bermudagrass
In
the spring, for warmer climates, seedlings should be done after March
15th. For colder climates a good rule of thumb is to wait until the
soil temperatures reach 65 degrees. Early planting will give Majestic a
head start on annual weeds and allow it to make good growth before
extreme hot weather arrives.
If
planted in the summer, special attention must be given to watering due
to high temperatures. The soil dries very rapidly in the summer,
increasing the chance of the soil drying out during germination and
establishment.
Tips for Maintaining a Beautiful Majestic Bermudagrass Lawn
For
best results, establish a plan or program of lawn care. A beautiful
lawn needs, in addition to proper mowing and watering, regular
applications of lawn fertilizers, winterizers, and in some cases, weed
and insect control. Consult your local nursery professional for the
products best suited for your area.
Overseeding
All
Bermuda grass varieties will go dormant in the winter. Bermuda grass
may be over-seeded with a hardy grass such as annual or pernnial rye
grass without doing damage to the Bermuda grass.
