Buyer Beware!In New York State, seed companies are not required to list the percentage of flourescence in Perennial Ryegrass. Flourescence can indicate the presence of Annual Ryegrass in a Perennial Ryegrass lot. This is a natural occurance which cannot be avoided, but can be minimized. At Preferred Seed Company, Inc., our standards are to reject any lot of Turf Type Perennial Ryegrass which contains excessive amounts of Flourescence (Annual Ryegrass). It is possible to purchase seed lots which have in excess of 8% flourescence at a cheaper price. We chooseto not offer these substandard seed lots.

The Native and Naturalized seeding rates listed are based on optimum soil conditions, perfect site preparation, precise planting technique and proper maintenance schedules. Seedings established with conditions other than these are considered plantings made in adverse environmental conditions. In our view, almost all jobs that require Native and Naturalized seeds will not meet the strict criteria listed above and will be considered to have adverse environmental conditions. In all adverse environmental conditions seeding rates should be doubled and a seasonal nurse crop should accompany the planting.

Planting and Grow-in InstructionsLow-Gro and Low-Gro/Golf Mixtures in Secondary Rough

• Eradicate all existing vegetation through cultivation and/or use of herbicides

• Seed using either mixture at 6 lbs./1,000 sq. ft.

• Fertilize using 18-24-12 with Nutrisphere Starter Fertilizer at 5.5 lbs./1,000 sq. ft.

• Water as you would any new seeding. Expect Low-Grow Mixture to require 2-3 weeks to begin to germination. Low-Gro/Golf Mixture can begin to germinate in 7-10 days due to the Turf Type Annual Ryegrass component.

• Immediately upon germination, fertilize using 30-0-08 with Nutrisphere at 3.3lbs./1,000 sq. ft. (1lb.N/1,000 sq. ft.). Repeat this same fertilizer rate of application every 4 weeks during growing season until soil is covered with desirable grasses. This may require 4-6 applications to complete the grow-in.

• Mow at height of 3” during the grow-in process in order to discourage weeds and coarse grasses from becoming established. They are likely already in the soil and will outgrow the Fine Fescues during establishment. This process may require a year or more of mowing and fertilizing before it is advisable to allow the Fescues to grow to seed head development stage. This is important to minimize the amount of seeds that the weeds and coarse grasses produce. It also allows for easier broadleaf herbicide treatments.

• Upon completion of grow-in, discontinue all fertilizing and watering. This will allow Fine Fescues to maintain less density for better playability.

• Mowing is required at the end of each season. Mow to approximately 4” being careful to avoid scalping or scarring soil on severe undulations. This could allow unwanted weed growth. If area has relatively heavy soil, sweeping and collecting clippings may assist in minimizing thick growth by reducing organic matter accumulation. To maintain the thinnest possible stand, mowing in spring is recommended but preferably before April 15th to maximize seed head development.

24 LAWN CARE

Spring and Early Summer Care for Your Newly Seeded Lawn

1) Keep the surface of the soil moist with a light watering (avoiding puddles) when daytime high temperatures are 65 degree F and above. If the daily high temperatures are less than 65 degrees F, turfgrass seed will not germinate.

2) Water ONLY between 5:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Evening/Night watering has a tendency to promote disease, which will quickly kill seedlings. A clear, hot and windy day may require watering every hour in order to keep the soil moist. Natural rain alone is not enough water to activate seed germination. It will only reduce the number of times you need to water.

3) Fertilize the area 3 to 4 weeks after germination begins (ONLY if high temperatures are below 80 degrees F). Use a fertilizer labeled specifically for turfgrass lawns. Apply according to the instructions and continue to water. All seeds do not germinate at the same time. Your area has been seeded with a mixture that has multiple species of turf grasses that vary significantly in germination times.

4) Mow seedlings and weeds when they reach 3 to 4 inches in height. Yes, you will get weeds, they are unavoidable. Mowing will significantly reduce your population of weeds over time. You can apply weed control products when grass reaches 3 to 4 months in maturity. DO NOT apply weed control when temperatures are above 80 degree F, or you may burn and injure the turfgrass. September and October are the optimum months to apply weed control control products.

5) New turfgrass lawns require 1 to 2 years to fully mature. BE PATIENT. If seed did not germinate in the late Fall or Summer, it may lay dormant, waiting for the proper conditions to germinate (65 to 80 degrees F). Be ready to water when that occurs.

Rolled Erosion Control ProductsFuterra TRM

Futerra TRM is a three-dimensional nylon Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) made of polyamide (nylon) filaments thermally fused at their intersections to create a homogeneous matrix. Ninety-five percent of the matrix is open space, which supplements nature’s own erosion control system by reinforcing plant root systems. As the roots grow, they become entwined within the lofty and open Futerra TRM matrix, creating an extremely stable cover. When fully vegetated, Futerra TRM can double the effectiveness of natural vegetation and replace hard armor systems at a fraction of the cost. Futerra’s tough root-reinforcing system anchors vegetation and protects against hydraulic lift and shear forces created by high-volume discharges. It can withstand velocities greater than 20 feet per second and shear stresses of 10 pounds per square foot. We also offer the Profile GreenArmor System. Used in conjunction with Flexterra, the hydraulically applied FGM, the GreenArmor System offers a more aesthetically pleasing, environmentally superior and cost-effective means of protecting high-discharge waterways and steep slopes.

Revolution™

Revolution is a patent-pending technology that extends turf’s natural antioxidant activity and significantly increases stress tolerance by balancing air-to-water ratios in the soil. By providing better moisture access and gasexchange in the rootzone, Revolution improves overall turf health and makes it much more resilient under all types of stresses. Keeping water moving consistently into and through the plant increases photosynthesis, leading to increased production of non-structural carbohydrates. It also boosts the efficiency of other cellular processes, keeps the leaf turgor stable for more consistent play, and maintains evapotranspiration rates to keep the turf canopy cooler. Revolution lets you gain control of the rootzone conditions so that your turf can perform to its greatest potential. Revolution is exceptionally safe on fine turf species and is backed by Aquatrols’ exclusive money-back performance guarantee.

Available Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) ..................2.00%Soluble Potash (K2O) ...........................................2.00%Derived from Kelp Extract, Phosphoric Acid

PanaSeá Plus® Liquefied Sea Plant Extract builds bigger, stronger root systems, increases turf tolerance to various stresses, improves quality and color and also accelerates seed germination. As its name implies, it is a solution for many of the common problems that affect golf courses and sports turf – problems that arise from the highly intensive maintenance regimens to which turf grasses are subjected, as well as seasonal stresses like heat and drought.

The Result You Want: Bigger, Better RootsThe most important way PanaSeá Plus contributes to plant growth and health is through root establishment and root biomass development. This is because the health of the root system dictates the health of the plant.

Knowledgeable superintendents understand that the causes of problems start long before symptoms are visible. They understand the need for aggressive agronomic intervention and they start with programmed PanaSeá Plus applications as soon as they start mowing. The outcome is significantly healthier, denser, deeper root systems. Bigger, better root systems come from programmed applications of naturally occurring cytokinins and other beneficial constituents contained in PanaSeá Plus. PanaSeá Plus not only outperforms synthetic cytokinins, but also all other biostimulants.

During high stress periods when plants stop producing their own hormones, PanaSeá Plus provides necessary cytokinins to stimulate and sustain cell division in root tissue. This proactive biostimulation strategy helps to offset the negative impact on root development from shrinking internal cytokinin production. PanaSeá Plus is a proprietary blend of several liquefied sea plant extracts. It’s also the richest single source – more than twice that of its nearest competitor – of naturally occurring cytokinins.

• A highly visible blue or green that can be used at low amounts – Color chemistry studies have indicated that a transparent blue over green is more cost effectively different than any other color – Blue gives a darker green appearance that quickly fades to the turf’s natural color, providing minimal distraction to the golfer

• Non-staining so that it washes off skin, clothing and equipment – Blazon is the same chemistry that is used in washable markers – Polymeric colorants by their very nature do not bind with fabrics, which is exactly what dyes were designed to do!

• Blazon is temporary, so that it fades in sunlight or washes off with irrigation or rainfall

NUTRI•RATIONAL®

TrueFoliar™

Proven at Cornell UniversityResults: In an independent research trial at Cornell University in 2003, the Emerald Isle True Foliar® Nutritional Program provided great quality with extremely low inputs — 80% less N than other plots. The other fertility programs provided 3.5-4.0 lbs. of N per 1,000 sq. ft. from June to September, com-pared to a more appropriate seasonal amount of less than 1 lb. of N from Emerald Isle True Foliar® nutrition. Even though there was a large difference in the amount of N applied, there was no statistically signifi-cant difference in turf quality.
