Through the science of conventional plant breeding, turfgrass breeders select individual grass plants for quality, color, density, resistance to diseases and insects, tolerance to heat, cold and much more. After years of selection and natural cross breeding of the strongest and most attractive plants, the new seed variety is examined by two independent expert panels to verify 1 uniformity, 2 uniqueness, 3 stability, and 4 eligibility for seed certification.
Remember, inferior turfgrass seed will never produce a superior lawn no matter how much time, effort and money you invest after planting.
October 15 Columbus Day is the recommended time for your final Turf Maximizer application of the season. The best time to plant Kentucky bluegrass and do major lawn maintenance is during early fall as cool-season KBG growth peaks. This is the optimal time for KBG germination, establishment and repair.
To keep your KBG at the peak of beauty and performance, time your lawn care tasks to complement its seasonal cycles. Weather conditions are often predictable in the northern regions where KGB thrives. Winter's arrival and departure shift from year to year, so let your lawn be your guide.
The farther north you live, the earlier fall tasks begin. Check with your local county extension agent about typical frost dates for your area if you're unsure. Then follow this Kentucky bluegrass lawn care calendar for a beautiful, lush lawn.
When allowed to flower, Kentucky bluegrass has a panicle-like seed head. Start mowing your KBG lawn as soon as it starts growing.
Snow mold often attacks KBG lawns. Bag the season's first lawn clippings to discourage winter-related lawn disease. Apply this preemergent before crabgrass starts germinating — that happens as soil temperatures hit 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not treat seeded or overseeded areas until at least 60 days after seeding. Pennington Smart Seed Kentucky Bluegrass Grass Seed and Fertilizer Mix's fertilizer-enhanced seed coat technology speeds establishment and promotes greener grass. This all-in-one combination repairs bare spots in two weeks or less under proper growing conditions.
Avoid treating newly seeded areas until new grass establishes and you mow it at least three times. After treatment, wait at least three weeks before reseeding.
Wise water management is essential for Kentucky bluegrass lawns. A typical KBG lawn needs at least 1 inch of water weekly from irrigation or rainfall during normal weather.
During periods of high heat and lower rainfall, increase KBG mowing heights to 3 to 4 inches. Never remove more than one-third of the blade in a single mowing. Kentucky bluegrass lawns typically require more fertilizer than tall fescue grasses.
The added iron helps maintain KBG's beautiful emerald color. During hot summer weather, especially in the transition zone, KBG may need 2 inches or more water per week to avoid going dormant in summer. KBG has relatively shallow roots compared to tall fescue and warm-season grasses. Deep, thorough watering encourages deep root growth. Control grubs, chinch bugs, billbugs and other lawn pests — above and below ground — with Sevin Lawn Insect Killer Granules.
Grass carp will not control filamentous algae moss growth, except at stocking rates far beyond those suggested, which leads to other complications. Learn about methods for reducing algae on the algae control page. There are no guidelines for grass carp stocking density rates that will fit all situations. Each pond or lake has its own combination of fertility, water clarity, shallow water, and chemical makeup. Each of these variables affect the number of grass carp required to achieve the level of plant control desired.
In addition, different pond owners often desire different amounts of weed control. The table below suggests an approximate number of grass carp to stock per acre, based upon percentage of weed coverage. These numbers may be modified based upon the variables mentioned above. If in doubt, contact your local fisheries personnel for stocking information specific to your pond or lake.
Percent of plant coverage in lake. Number of carp per acre of water. The standard recommended size of stocked grass carp is 8—12 inches. Fish at this size are large enough to escape being eaten by bass. Grass carp may be obtained from commercial fish producers throughout the state. For the names of nearby grass carp sources, you may contact either your local MDC office or download the Missouri Fish Producers list. Keep in mind that aquatic weed control with grass carp takes time.
Monitor progress by making a simple map of the vegetation when the grass carp are stocked. After three growing seasons, refer to the map. If the desired results have not been achieved, you may want to increase the number of grass carp in the pond, but do not exceed the next highest rate shown in the "How Much To Stock" section above. There are generally two circumstances that lead to harvesting grass carp from a pond. Observations of plant growth and reference to your vegetation map will help determine when restocking is necessary.
Before restocking, it is very important that a similar number of fish be removed from the pond.
