tropical world. Originating in Africa and India, this grass has
the ability to withstand extremes in climatic and growing

HULLED & UN-HULLED SEED - Common
is sold as both hulled and un-hulled seeds. Hulled seeds have
the seed husk removed and germinate faster while un-hulled still
have a natural seed husk that generally delays germination.
This delay is natures way of waiting for more ideal conditions and
ensuring a species survival. Under good growing conditions
hulled seed will create a faster established pasture or lawn. Coated
seed have a special chemical coating applied that helps in
germination and reduces loss to birds.
AVAILABLE IN HULLED &
UNHULLED SEEDS
AND COATED (Penkoted)
& RAW SEEDS:
-
Hulled seed:
have part of the protect seed coat mechanically removed so as to speed up
germination percentages. This makes it more likely for the seed to all germinate
at near the same time. More hulled seed are planted than any other kind,
because people generally want fast germination which is best achieved with
hulled seed.
-
Un-Hulled seed: Unhulled
seed still have the seed coats attached. Some seed may
germinate early and others will lie dormant until conditions are more favorable
for germination - even months later.
-
Coated seed: Coated
seed have been coated with a coating material (clay based) and a
fungicide to increase successful germination by providing control of seed
and soil borne pathogens.
-
Raw seed: Raw
seed are simply seeds that have not been coated. The advantage of
raw seeds is you get more actual seed per lb. of weight. The
disadvantage is usually that no fungicides are applied.
-
Hulled & Un-hulled Blend -
This 50-50 Blend takes advantage of germination characteristics of both
hulled and un-hulled seeds.
|
Often, grassing contractors will plant
both hulled & un-hulled, so
as to ensure a successful establishment of a planted area. Usually this is
a 50-50 mixture of hulled and un-hulled seed.
