Product Information
Sesame seed, or Benne, is a tall-growing, annual seeding crop that will achieve 3 to 5 feet in height at maturity. Sesame is commonly used for quail or dove fields, exotic bird feed, duck plots, food plots, and game bird attractants. After blooming, the Sesame seed pods will scatter oily seeds in great quantity for all game birds, especially quail. Seed production will occur in approximately 90 days after emergence.
Sesame seed is best for those looking to attract turkey, duck, dove, pheasant, rabbit, and quail.

Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
