Under good growing conditions Grit bermuda seed will create a faster established pasture. Bermuda common pasture grass has an average analysis of 10% protein and 50% TDN. For pastures plant 12 to 15 lbs/acre between March to July in a well prepared seed bed.

Hay can be harvested at 4 to 6 week intervals. Responds well to high levels of Nitrogen fertilizer. Add lime at pH below 5.5. Apply nitrogen after each cutting. The seed is very small, and needs daily temperatures above 60 degrees for best germination.

Seeding Rate: 12 - 15 lbs/acre.
Seeding Depth: 1/8" - 1/4"

Bermudagrass is an extremely drought-tolerant warm season perennial grass that is adapted to a wide range range of soil conditions. Soil temperatures should be at least 65Ëš F. and warming. The recommended seeding rate for coated bermudagrass is 12-15 pounds per acre. Seeding depth should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep into a very firm seed bed and good seed to soil contact is important. Fertilizer should be applied based on results from a soil sample and Nitrogen should not be applied until 3-4 inches of growth. When planted at the right depth and temperature, bermudagrass emerges in 14-21 days. Weed control is also a key factor for success. Light grazing or mowing during establishment can help mitigate the growth of weeds. Talk to your local extension agent to discuss a weed control program that is right for you.

Proper seed bed preparation cannot be stressed enough when it comes to planting any bermudagrass. A method of gauging the correct firmness is if you can walk across the field without sinking 1/4 inch below the soles of your shoes. Seed bed firmness is especially important if no-till drills or broadcast seeders are used. Brillion planters are useful in conditioning the fields and are the preferred planter for bermudagrass.

Planting bermudagrass in a firm seed bed helps in proper seed placement and reduces the chance of burying the seed too deeply with loose soil. It also provides good seed to soil contact allowing for better soil moisture movement to the seed. Bermudagrass planted in loose seed beds can often be identified by quicker seedling emergence in the wheel tracks of the planter, than in the rest of the field.
