GIANT BERMUDA GRASS SEED
Giant is similar in appearance to the popular hybrid Coastal
Bermuda. It has the same erect and giant growth and vigorous
spreading habits associated with Coastal. There is one major
difference in that Coastal Bermuda does not seed, but the Giant
variety does (Often also called NK37 Giant).
Giant Bermudagrass grows tall enough to cut
for hay, even on low fertility soils. At a Yuma Arizona trial,
measurements showed an average of 30 inches in height compared to
14-16 inches for common on same type soils. Four to Five
cuttings a year are possible with Giant with Nitrogen a key factor
in total tonnage production. With proper management a cutting
or grazing can be made as early as 50 days after seeding the field.
Giant is a perennial grass that is alkali and heat tolerant.

Plant on a firm, prepared seed bed
in the spring, after all danger of frost /
freeze is past. Germination occurs when soil temps are
warmer than 70+ degrees. Cover as lightly as possible, with
1/4 inch ideal depth. Unhulled seeds can be planted during
winter periods for germination in spring.
Irrigation: On salty or alkaline land,
plant dry and irrigate immediately to reduce the soil salinity
around emerging seedlings. Lightly irrigate every 1 to 2
days, depending on soil drainage , temperature and wind conditions
at planting / germination time. During the first 5 weeks the
soil surface should never fully dry out. After the stand is
established, infrequent but deep waterings will be better on this
grass.
Giant Bermuda is a grass that is an excellent source of
feed. Standing tall and erect the mature plant grows up to forty
inches in height and stays very productive for a long time
producing a fine-stemmed, leafy, nutritious forage,of hay or green
chop suitable for livestock feed. With proper management a
cutting or grazing can be made as early as 45 to 50 days after
seeding the field.
Vigorous seedling growth and a strong system of stolons and
rhizomes allows for rapid growth and regrowth after cutting or
grazing. Extremely early growth in the spring as versus common
bermuda allows for faster use in the spring. Giant bermudagrass
also grows longer into the fall than other bermuda grass,
increasing yearly weight gains on pastured livestock.
With a proper management program of water and fertilizer,
your bermudagrass pasture can remain highly productive for years,
rewarding you with high yields of top quality hay, forage or
greenchop. This perennial grass is alkali and heat tolerant,
spreads rapidly and is extremely well adapted to the warm climates
of the southern United States, especially the southwest deserts of
Arizona, California and northern Mexico
