We based our Hancock's Erosion Control Seed Mix was developed from department of transportation recommendations, as well as years of farming, grassing and seeding experience. This erosion seed mixture is ideal for seeding roadsides, vacant lots, high-grade slopes, new construction zones, and all other erosion-prone areas. Hancock's Erosion Control seed mixture has proven to effectively control topsoil, stormwater sediment, and dust erosion by the rapid establishment of natural vegetation. Product Information Application or Use: Erosion Control, Lawn, Pasture, Ground Cover, Livestock Grazing, Cattle Forage, Cover Crop Germination Time: Brown Top Millet - 5 - 7 days, Common Bermuda - 7 - 14 days, Pensacola Bahia - 21 - 30 days; under optimal conditions Growing Locations: Warm Season Zone, Transition Zone Height: Lawn - 3 - 5 inches; Pasture - 8 - 20 inches (It is very important to keep the newly seeded areas watered and mowed to prevent the Brown Top Millet from overcrowding or shading out the young Pensacola Bahia and Common Bermuda seedlings.) Sunlight Requirements: 8+ hours, full sun for best results Tolerance: Excellent erosion control capabilities with drought tolerance, and exceptional insect and disease resistance. When to Plant: Recommended planting time is spring and summer when night time temperatures are consistently 65+ degrees and 3 months prior to first frost. Our spring and summer Erosion Control grass seed mixture contains 33% Common Un-Hulled Bermuda , 33% Pensacola Bahiagrass and 34% Browntop Millet. The Pensacola Bahiagrass and Common Bermudagrass will interweave with one another, providing the permanent erosion-control vegetation. Pensacola Bahiagrass is a bunch grass, spreading by root stolens under the soil, and the Common Bermuda spreads by surface runners. The two grass varieties coexist very well in most any soil condition. The fast-germinating Browntop Millet will germinate in 2 to 4 days, with proper soil moisture. The Browntop Millet will prevent soil and seed erosion while effectively providing an adequate germination environment for the permanent grass varieties.
