Eliminate perennial weeds before planting. During their establishment phase, slow-growing grasses do not compete well with perennial weeds. Have soil tested and amended according to crop needs. Apply 20 to 40 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre when the cover is being established.
Thoroughly work the soil before seeding. Any broadcast machine will do. Do not cover the seed with soil. A cyclone spreader, drop spreader, or Brillion seeder is recommended for planting seed. If a grain drill is used, disconnect the hoses at the grain box and let the seed fall to the ground.
The light, fine seed of the fescues will not fall through the hoses. Seed the grass at a rate of 20 to 60 pounds per acre. The higher rates will produce a faster cover. The best time to seed is late August to late September. The next best time is mid-March to early May. If planted in spring, slow-growing grasses will not compete well with weeds the first growing season. Limit weed competition the year of planting by mowing weeds before they reach 10 inches tall.
Timely applications of 2,4-D will prevent broadleaved weeds from becoming established. If desired, you may want to add a nurse crop of oats in the seeding mix at a rate of 5 pounds per acre to help establish a covering to prevent erosion. Other comments To remain effective, turf-type perennial ryes need two applications of nitrogen each year at 40 pounds per acre. All others need an application of nitrogen only every other year. Chewings fescue and creeping red fescue grow taller than hard fescues and mat down more, but they seem to establish faster.
Orchard Sod Management Managing the sod middles properly can prevent the invasion of unwanted weeds, provides a firm drive row for early spring orchard chores, prevents or reduces soil erosion, and increases soil organic matter.
