Establishment
& Maintenance:
|
| Cody Buffalograss
should be planted when soil temperatures are consistently above
60° F (16º C). For best results, plant in sites with
6 to 8 hours of full sun on well-drained soil and soil moisture
must be maintained for at least 1 to 2 weeks after planting
through irrigation or natural rainfall. Under ideal conditions,
germination may begin within 14 to 21 days. Full coverage may
be attained in 60 to 90 days. More time may be needed for establishment
if planting early or late in the season. Cody performs best
at mowing heights of 2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm). Fertilize with
2 to 4 lb/1,000 sq ft actual N (0.25 to 0.5 kg /100 sq m) per
growing season for optimum performance. |
