BEST GRASS SEED ( FESQUE ) – Triple Threat

RYE GRASS SEED (FESQUE) – Pure Sport

Annual rye grass is temporary fix to fill bold spots and its not good for mowing

Tall Fescue – mountains and piedmont, easily started from seed, sun and medium shade, not good for full sun in coastal sandy soil. Good disease resistance, drought and cold tolerant, 6 lbs per 1000 sq ft., cut 3-3.5″, it survives short 3 week droughts.  

Kentucky bluegrass – mountains but OK in piedmont with mixed with tall fescue. Not good for coastal plains.  Must have well drain soil in sun or small shade. With tall fescue it gives it a fine texture for your feet. Grows better in the shade. Cut 1.5-2.5″  or 2.5-3.5″ with a fix of tall fescue – seed 1-2lbs per 1000 ft.

 

Fine fescue –  is a great seed for shade but it doesnt grow fast. Good for shade, tolerates drought and poor soil conditions. Good for mountains. Not good in coastal plains with high temps. Not good for very sunny areas with high soil humidity and traffic. Great to mix with Kentucky bluegrass. Grows quick

St Augustine – Grows fast, great for coastal plains, shade tolerant, least cold tolerant, grows well in well drained soil, cut 2.5-4″, cut frequently, grows fast, 

Centape, bermuda, zozia – Good Beautiful Warm grass seeds

Bermuda: High End bermuda  planned via sod, plugs or sprigs. Should be seeded 1-2 lbs per 1000 sq ft. Cut 0.75 – 1″, up to 2″  on uneven  terrain.

Zoysia – Make a very dense turf similar to walsking on a cushion feel. Grows slower than bermuda thus requires less often mowing.

Companies selling: Meyer and Emerald – glow slowly (3 yrs to cover) and are thatchy, puffy. New growers: El Toro, Crowne, Palisades, Empire, Atlantic and Jamur (are like fesque) and quicker to establish and recover – Dont cut them short.  Not as cold tolerant.  Cavalier, Zeon, Zorro, Geo and Leisure time are new companies with faster growth and more cold tolerant.   Compadre, Zenith, Zen 100 and Zen300CS can be seeded and mowed with regular mower

Use Annual RyeGrass to fill bold spots and to have it greener in winter. It only last 1 year.

 Centipede – Slow growing, apple green, leaved grass good for low maintenance.  Not as much mowing, Does not tolerate traffic, heavy shade, high ph soil and sensitive to many weed killers.  3 yrs to seed and establish. Cut 1-2 inches. It can be very thatchy when you cut high

urhea, amonium sulfate in uFlix, to make bermuda grow, sulfate to make greener color

August, pre emergent for Bermuda spray prediamine. If late November, mesifuron or katana. No glafocine in November.
In January use Glafocade.

 

 

WHT TO USE IN EACH GRASS:

Centipede grass – use Celsius Herbacide to kill weed, hit hard as preemergent in winter

Bermuda – preemergent use Prodiamine Herbicide (Aug, Dec, Feb). If late November use Mesifiuron herbicide or Katana Turf Herbicide

Fescue – No preemergent in fescue in fall. Just seed.

 

 

BERMUDA:

The best time to plant new Bermuda grass seed is when daytime temps are in the 80’s. (Late spring / early summer.) This is the “sweet spot” but it also can be planted during the summer months if LOTS of water is available. Do not plant Bermuda seed in the early spring or fall. (no pre-emergent for 3 months prior). Water 2-3 times a day lightly until the seed germinates, then once a day for the next 2 weeks. Use no weed killers for the first 2 months

 

KILLING SPECIFIC WEEDS:

 

 

BERMUDA GRASS CONTROL

Mesotrione Herbicide, Celsius Herbicide, Revolver Herbicide

SureGuard Herbicide and Glufosinate Herbicide to clean up weeds

Subvert Fertilizer and carbon x fertilizer to grow as it has Nitrogen in it

 

 

KILLING SPECIFIC WEEDS:

Poa Annua (grassy weed) – use Tenacity Turf Herbicide or Revolver Herbicide. Quinclorac 75DF works good on grassy weeds

Kalinga / Kyllinga weed – use SedgeHammer, Sulfosulfuron, Tenacity Turf Herbicide, Sulfentrazone Herbicides

Dallas grass weed – use Celsius Herbicide + Revolver Herbicide , or Celsius Herbicide + Monument Herbicide with penetrosurfactin

Sedge – For Fesque grass kill with Dismiss Turf Herbicide or Sulfentrazone Herbicides . For Bermuda – kill with Monument Herbicide or Certainty Herbicide, Sulfentrazone Herbicides or Dismiss Turf Herbicide

Virginia button weed in Fesque use Floraxapede herbicide or Sulfentrazone Herbicides. In Bermuda or Centspede use Celsius Herbicide + Dismiss Herbicide or Change Up Herbicide + Metsulfuron herbicide

Goose grass – for Bermuda use (spot spray) Tenacity Turf Herbicide or Pylex Herbicide; carfentrazone herbicide

Crab grass (grassy weed) – for Bermuda (premergent) use Prodiamine Herbicide. Bermuda (spot spray post emergent) Quinclorac Herbacide + 2,4D, Celsius Herbicide with seed oil when its small also has little action in it

Dove weed (its new 2020 crab grass) – looks like crabgrass. Germinates late. Celsius Herbicide, Dismiss Turf Herbicide, Mesifiuron herbicide is ok, mezoteion. Sure power kills dove weed but Hard to kill in Fesque. Sure power spot spray only.

 

CHAMICALS / HERFACIDES:

Dismiss Turf Herbicide – for bermuda

SureGuard Herbicide – Preemergent for Bermuda. Also controlls weeds in supper, may burn, strong

Sure Power – kills dove weed in bermuda (not in fesque) – spot spray

Resolute Herbicide – good as as preemergent in January and April

Mesotrione Herbicide – bermuda weed control

Celsius Herbicide – weed kill on fescue . bermuda weed control, crabgrass, dove weed,

Dismiss Turf Herbicide – bermuda dove weed, kills sedge and Kyllinga fast

Revolver Herbicide – bermuda weed control, good post emergent – kills poa

Tenacity Turf Herbicide – good post emergent for POA, Crabgrass, Clover.

You have to mix it with SURFACTANT so it stays on the leafs – kills poa

Quinclorac Herbacide – preemergent, post emergent for bermuda crab grass

Prodiamine Herbicide – Good preemergent (janurary and May) good for crabgrass

Monument Herbicide – weed kill for Fescue

Mesifiuron herbicide

Sulfentrazone Herbicides – Fesque sedge killer

Certainty Herbicide

Katana Turf Herbicide – good Preemergent,  kills Poa annua, ryegrass, tall fescue.  Superior post-emergence control in Bermudas. Early summer treatments are most effective. Late summer application. Application in the middle of the summer from July 15 to August 15 will prove less effective

Change Up Herbicide – virginia button weed in bermuda

Pylex Herbicide – kills goose grass in bermuda

Coastal Herbicide spray to pre emergent maybe harsh on bermuda. Ok when sprayed in winter

Mezatrolathon herbicide – strong weed kill

Imazaquin – centapid weed killer
