Variety
Development and Description:
Mohawk (Mowhawk) is an advanced synthetic
turf-type Bermudagrass variety that resulted from the efforts of Lincoln Taylor, turfgrass
breeding consultant, emeritus from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the Virginia
Turfgrass Research Center. The goal was to develop a high quality seeded
Bermudagrass variety with cold tolerance sufficient to survive most severe winters in the
northern transition zone of the United States. This area which is located below the cold
temperate zone is characterized by hot, humid summers and cold winters.
In Oklahoma State University freeze chamber tests
designed to kill one-half of the tested plants, Mohawk
withstood temperatures of ¨C 6.75 Centigrade. |
| Bermudagrass.com - Mohawk Characteristics: |
Uses: Mohawk can be used for both grazing
and hay production throughout the spring and summer months under
good management practices.

PLANTING |
Planting:
Rate: 15 lbs./acre
Date: Late spring
through early summer when soil temperatures
are 65ˇđF or above. Plow and cultipack to
develop a firm seedbed. Proper firmness is
indicated by a heel print no more than 1/8"
deep in the soil.
Depth: 1/8ˇ± depth
maximum.
Competition from other grasses and weeds is
the number one reason for bermudagrass stand
failure. Taking steps to reduce this
competition will increase your chances of
success.

Recommendations |
Fertilizer: Due to varying soil
conditions and types it is necessary to
conduct a soil test each year in order to
supply the proper nutrients. Apply 20-30
lbs. of nitrogen at planting time. When the
new plants start to run, apply 50-60 lbs. of
nitrogen. After the stand is established,
apply 70-100 lbs. of nitrogen after each
cutting.
Management: If grazed, apply up to
150 lbs. of nitrogen per year in split
applications throughout the summer. Last
fertilizer application each year should be
done 4 to 6 weeks before a killing frost to
increase cold tolerance. Delay grazing until
forage is 8" to 10" tall. Do not graze or
clip for hay shorter than 2." Rotate animals
more often during periods of drought stress.
