Seeding with Rio Bermuda

ESTABLISHMENT

Plant in full sunlight when soil temps are consistently 65°F and on the rise
Plant 2 to 3 lbs of seed per 1,000 sq ft
Cover with no more than ¼ inch of soil
Maintain soil moisture around seed using frequent but light irrigation
As seedings develop, decrease frequency of irrigation but increase amount of water applied

PRO TIP

Seed-to-soil contact is required for proper seed germination

MOWING MAINTENANCE

Maintain at mowing heights from 0.4 inches to 1 inch
Do not remove over 1/3 of the leaf blade per mowing
More frequent mowing at shorter heights will results in a finer, more dense turf

Spreader Settings

We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.
