Establishment Seed Bed Preparation Bermudagrass is an extremely drought-tolerant warm season perennial grass that is adapted to a wide range range of soil conditions. Soil temperatures should be at least 65˚ F. and warming. The recommended seeding rate for coated bermudagrass is 12-15 pounds per acre. Seeding depth should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep into a very firm seed bed and good seed to soil contact is important. Fertilizer should be applied based on results from a soil sample and Nitrogen should not be applied until 3-4 inches of growth. When planted at the right depth and temperature, bermudagrass emerges in 14-21 days. Weed control is also a key factor for success. Light grazing or mowing during establishment can help mitigate the growth of weeds. Talk to your local extension agent to discuss a weed control program that is right for you.
