Establishing Cheyenne & Ranchero Frio
Using Seeded Bermudagrasses
Article from Penningtonseed.com
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.
- Don't get in a hurry to plant. If
soil temperature is not 65°F or higher
at a depth of 4", bermudagrass will not
germinate. When the seed does germinate
it will be weaker and more subject to
disease.
For No-Till
- Be sure seed is not dropping too
deep; 1/8"or less is ideal. One method
to prevent deep planting is to pull the
drop tubes from the openers and let the
seed fall behind the opener to be
pressed into the loosened soil by the
press wheel.
- Be sure that existing residue is not
too thick for seedlings to emerge and
that the seed is making soil contact
beneath the residue.
For Clean-tilled Ground
- Prepare the ground well in advance.
This allows the first flush of crabgrass
and other competition to germinate that
can be killed with a non-selective
herbicide like glyphosate before
planting Cheyenne or Ranchero Frio.
- Prepare a firm seedbed. Plow, disk
and cultipack before and after planting.
- Several passes may be necessary to
achieve proper firmness. Bermudagrass
seed will not establish in a fluffy,
loose seedbed. Take care to place seed
at the proper depth of 1/8" or less.
