Establishment Guidelines
Monaco Bermudagrass is easy to grow if the area seeded or planted is properly prepared and is cared for as directed.
- Seeding Rate: To achieve complete coverage and growth, apply 2-3 lbs of Monaco Bermudagrass seed per 1,000 sq ft. This will lead to a more balanced spread and regular development.
- Planting Depth: The seed should be lightly covered, no more than 1/4 inch. This depth is also necessary to obtain good seed-to-soil contact for germination.
- Optimal Soil Temperature: Soil is best at 65°F (18 °C) for growing. Soil temperature becomes warmer so the germination and seedling establishment period can be shortened.
- Watering: To help germinate, give Monaco Bermudagrass frequent light watering to maintain moisture in the seedbed. This assists the grass to establish itself in the first growth stages.
- Fertilization: Applying 0.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet every two weeks during the initial growth period will help the grass establish strong roots and develop healthy, vibrant turf. Fertilization should be adjusted based on turf management needs after establishment.
