Fine bladed turf type bermuda grass

  • Dark green color

  • Lower growing - mow as low as 1/4"

  • Excellent for turf application

  • Seeding rate: 2-3 lbs./1,000 sq. ft


Yuma Bermudagrass germinates in 7-10 days provided soil temperatures remain above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and adequate moisture and nutrients are available. The first mowing should be initiated when the turf has reached a height of one inch. Once established, it can be maintained at heights ranging from �" on tee tops to one inch or more in golf course roughs. Yuma begins formation of its rhizome system between the sixth and eighth week and a dense, playable turf can be attained as early as 60 days from seeding.

grass_cheyennebermudabag.jpg

Improved Forage Bermudagrass

Where to Plant:

Seasonal Tips

Type: Warm season perennial

Adaptation: Across the southern 1/3 of the U.S. from California to Virginia. Particularly well suited to sandy soils but will thrive in most well-drained loam soils.

Uses: Cheyenne can be used for both grazing and hay production throughout the spring and summer months under good management practices.

Planting:
� Rate: 15 lbs./acre

� Date: Late spring through early summer when soil temperatures are 65 degrees fahrenheit 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: 1/8 inch deep maximum.

� Fertilizer: Due to varying soil conditions and types it is neccessary 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.

    Princess 77 Hybrid Bermudagrass
    Princess77_certified_clv.jpg
    Plant Breeder: Dr. Arden Baltensperger - Seeds West, Inc.

    Experimental Designation - FMC 77.

    Princess 77 bermudagrass is the first dense, fine textured hybrid bermudagrass variety to be available in seeded form. Princess 77 seed is produced much like hybrid seed corn, but instead of two inbred parent lines, two selfincompatible but cross-fertile parent clones are planted in alternating rows. The specific combining ability of these two elite parent clones is what makes Princess 77, an F1 hybrid, the first seeded bermudagrass that is competitive with the vegetative hybrid bermudagrasses for turfgrass quality, leaf texture, color, and density.

    Characteristics:
    � Outstanding drought tolerance
    � Requires 21% less water than Tifway
    � Dark green color
    � Better divot recovery than Tifway
    � Medium fine leaf texture
    � High leaf density
    � Excellent fall color retention
    � Higher overall turf quality than all commercial seeded varieties in U.S. and International tests

    Recommended Use: Golf Courses (fairways and tees), Athletic Fields, Parks, and Home Lawns Climatic Zones: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (may not be adaptable to all areas within each climatic zone.

    Establishment & Maintenance: Princess 77 should be planted when soil temperatures are consistently above 65� F (18� C). For best results, take a soil sample and follow fertility recommendations prior to planting. Care must be taken not to cover the seed with too much soil; no more than 1/4 inch (6 mm) covering over the seed is advised. After seeding, soil moisture in the root zone must be maintained for about 1 to 2 weeks, germination may begin within 7 to 10 days. After the new turf is established, less frequent, deep watering is desirable. Recommended mowing height is 3/16 to 1 inch (5 to 25 mm) with no more than 1/3 of the leaf blade removed per mowing. Full coverage may be attained in 4 to 6 weeks with proper management. Fertilize with 1/2 to 1 lb/1,000 sq ft actual N (0.25 to 0.5 kg /100 sq m) per month of growing season for optimum performance, fertilization may be reduced by 1/2 if clippings are returned. This is a dense hybrid � verticut at least once per growing season during periods of active growth. Winter overseeding may be completed for year round green color, but is generally not recommended on turf less than 6 months old.

    Seeding Rates:

    � New Turf Applications: 1 - 2 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. (0.5 - 1 kg/100 sq. meters).

    One pound of unhulled Princess 77 contains 2,200,000 seeds compared to 1,400,000 for unhulled NuMex Sahara. That is 57% more seed or 800,000 more seeds per pound. That is why we recommend a lower seeding rate for Princess 77 compared to other varieties.

    Jesup with MaxQ® Tall Fescue
    maxQ.jpg
    The release of non-toxic Jesup MaxQ tall fescue now gives farmers an alternative to consider for their high quality, non-toxic pasture and hay forage needs.

    TYPE: Cool season perennial grass.

    ENDOPHYTES: Endophytes (fungus) are important to a tall fescue plant The fungus aids the plant in being more tolerant to heat and drought stress, plus adds tolerance to some insects and diseases. However, most natural fungi in grass plants produce toxins, which are harmful to livestock. MaxQ® endophyte provides all of the beneficial effects for the plant but does not produce the harmful toxins.

    ADAPTATION: Grows very well where KY 31 is grown. Best adapted to clay or clay loam soils. Tolerant to soil acidity and poor drainage, but performs best on soils with good water holding capacity and a pH of 6.0-6.5. Relatively tolerant to drought. Not suited to drought prone, sandy soils.

    USES: MaxQ® enhanced tall fescue provides excellent permanent pastures for cattle, sheep, horses and other grazing livestock. When cut in early boot stage, it also produces a very high quality hay and provides high quality, abundant forage for a long period of time each year. Highest productivity, September-December & March-June. Best practice is to rest fescue pastures during the summer months.

    NUTRITION: With good management practices, tall fescue can produce Crude Protein levels of 15-16%; TDN in the 60-62% range. However, environmental conditions and management practices will determine individual results.

    PLANTING: For best results and benefits all toxic tall fescue should be killed before trying to establish a stand of fescue with MaxQ®. A firm seedbed is important for good stand establishment. You can drill into prepared firm seedbed, no-till drill into sod or broadcast and pack in seed. Place seed at a depth of 1/4" to 1/2", but never deeper than 1/2". Rate: 20 lbs./acre in prepared seedbed and 25 lbs./acre sod-seeded in stubble. Date: Southern and Southeastern States; Sept.1 to Nov.1, Mid-South, Midwest and Northeastern States; Aug. 15 to Oct. 1 or spring planting in March and April.

    MANAGEMENT: Do not graze or cut seedling stand until it reaches 6" – 8" tall. Use only light rotational grazing in the first year and never graze or cut closer than 2". During periods of heat and drought stress it is best to rotate cattle more frequently. Consult MaxQ® Users Guide for complete planting and management information.
