Comanche
Brand Bermudagrass
(Cynodon
dactylon)
Comanche
Brand Bermuda is a highly productive, economical
alternative to Coastal Bermudagrass sprigging. This is a specially
formulated 3 way blend of Giant bermuda, Common bermuda and
a New Southern Forage type. Comanchee
is better than pure Giant bermudagrass stands, because the
addition of Common bermudagrass produces a tighter sod to
reduce weed competition and the new Southern Forage type increases
productivity with its reduced frost kill and resistance to
various diseases and resistance to Bermuda Smut Mites.
Adaptation: It
is widely adapted to the southern United States as well as
most temperate, semi-tropical and tropical regions of the
world. Works well on most soil types, including those high
in salinity.
Uses:
Makes high yields of fine-stemmed forage that is excellent
for grazing and hay. Comanche bermudagrass is great for dairy
cows, horses, sheep, goats, and beef cattle.
Planting Info: Seed
should be planted after all danger of frost has past. Soil
temps. above 65 degrees F is recommended. Also can be planted
in early Fall, as long as there is at least 60 days of good
growth before the first frost. Broadcast seeding on a prepared
seedbed with a light dragging after planting is recommended.
Plant at 7 to 8 pounds per acre. If drilled, plant less than
1/4 inch deep. |
