Product Information

Poa pratensis is host to a number of fungi, including Claviceps purpurea, which causes ergotism when consumed, Drechslera poae, Epichloë typhina, Phaeoseptoria poae, Puccinia brachypodii var. poae-nemoralis, Stagonospora montagnei, Stagonospora nodorum and Wojnowicia hirta. [6] Cultivation and production [ edit ] During the 1990s [ citation needed] botanists began experimenting with hybrids of Poa pratensis and Texas bluegrass ( P. arachnifera), with the goal of creating a drought and heat-resistant lawn grass. In warm climates, such hybrids may remain green year-round. [7] Keep the soil moist but not soggy until the bluegrass seeds sprout, then water frequently for the next few weeks to help them get established. Once established, bluegrass lawns need an average of 1 inch of water per week. Independently Tested: 85% Min Germination, 98% purity. A seed testing Certificate is available upon request.

Light is an essential factor in kbg lawn growth and care. This grass thrives in temperatures ranging between 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for moderate climates. Some people like to start a new lawn by putting down sod. It provides immediate results, but laying sod is more expensive. Apart from that, it’s the same process as with seeding. Annual bluegrass is a “winter annual” that reaches maturity in the fall and lives through the winter. As it dies in the spring, it produces seed to grow its next year of plants.

Before you plant, rototill the top six inches of your soil. This adds oxygen and also loosens compact areas. Till in organic matter such as leaves, grass clippings, compost, or slow-release fertilizer. Seeding This variety of grass is also highly susceptible to drought due to its shallow root system. It does not grow the lengthy roots that fescues do, and that is why it cannot withstand the high heats of summer. Follow it with well-sifted compost and possibly a suitable fertiliser. You may apply a slow-release fertiliser, an NPK 15/9/15 formula, in October-November. Start by completely weeding grassy weeds on the bed before installing the lawn. And don't employ the weedkiller while doing this. bMaturity characteristic refers to relative time of seed head appearance in the spring, which will depend not only on species but also on variety.

This may seem like a lot of effort, but it can be easily accounted for with a lawncare routine and proper planning.To prevent this from happening, mow regularly to keep the warm or cool season lawn at an appropriate height and avoid overfertilizing with nitrogen-rich fertilizers. Conclusion The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has developed a zone map that divides the country into different zones based on average annual minimum temperatures. This map, known as the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, is used by gardeners and landscapers to determine the suitable plant species for their specific area based on the average minimum winter temperature. The zones are classified into different categories, ranging from Zone 1 (coldest) to Zone 13 (warmest).

Aeration helps ensure proper drainage and water absorption for your new seedlings. You should apply a starter fertilizer before planting the seeds. The extra boost of nutrients will help give your new grass an edge when it comes to growing strong and healthy roots. You’ll also want to look at the typical germination percentage. Quality brands generally have a germination rate of 85% or better. Preparing Your SoilMowing Frequency: During it’s peak cool season environment, lawn mowing will need be carried out around once a week to ensure the lawn doesn’t suffer from having too much green leaf removed in a single mowing. Don’t bag your clippings. Instead, set your lawnmower to the much setting. The lawn clippings provide organic matter that decompose and provide nutrients to the soil below throughout the season. Add any additional soil amendments as suggested by your local county extension agent. Your local agent may recommend you get your soil analyzed first. Follow their instructions on where and how to have your soil tested. Butler, Sara (June 17, 2022). "All about the turf grass at your favorite MLB ballpark". lawnlove.com. Lawn Love.
