Product Information
TifQuik Bahia has shown to germinate in soil temps as low as 55
The Bahiagrass cultivars now grown have a considerable amount of hard seed, and thus require 2 to 3 weeks to establish a full stand. Weeds may infest the pasture during this time, and moisture for forage seed germination may be restricted.

TifQuick Bahia Seed should be planted at 20-40 lbs. per acre in the early to mid-Spring. TifQuick Bahia Seed germinates faster than both Tifton 9 and Pensacola due to little dormant and hard seed content. TifQuik Bahia Seed has shown to germinate in soil temps as low as 55 degrees, making it very useful in early spring planting.
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.
