Mohawk Bermuda Grass Seed is a cold-tolerant, drought-resistant advanced Bermuda Grass Seed variety with increased sod density, combined with medium-fine texture and dark green color. Mohawk Bermuda Grass can be used, under good management practices, for both grazing and hay production throughout the spring and summer months.
Since 1993, Mohawk Bermuda Grass Seed has delivered improved performance and cold tolerance in Virginia trials. Mohawk Bermuda was developed for pasture and hay production in the southern and central climates. Mohawk is a tough, durable, high-quality, high-yielding forage and hay-type Bermuda Grass for the tropical and subtropical growing areas around the world.
Mohawk Bermuda grass is well-suited to sandy soils but will thrive in most well-drained loam soils.
Adaptation:
Mohawk Bermuda Grass Seed thrives across the southern 1/3 of the United States. from California to Virginia.
Plant during late spring through early summer, when soil temperatures are 65°F or above. Plow and cultipack to develop a firm seedbed. Proper firmness is indicated by a heel print no more than 1/8" deep in the soil. Plant at a maximum of 1/4 inch depth.
Due to varying soil conditions and types, it is necessary to conduct a soil test each year in order to supply the proper nutrients. Apply 20-30 lbs. of nitrogen at planting time. When the new plants start to run, apply 50-60 lbs. of nitrogen. After the stand is established, apply 70-100 lbs. of nitrogen after each cutting.
If grazed, apply up to 150 lbs. of nitrogen per year in split applications throughout the summer. The last fertilizer application of each year should be done 4 to 6 weeks before a killing frost, to increase cold tolerance. Delay grazing until forage is 8 to 10 inches tall. Do not graze or clip for hay shorter than 2 inches. Rotate animals more often during periods of drought stress.
