Sowing and Establishing Barenbrug Monaco Bermudagrass

For best results, Monaco should be planted in areas of full sunlight when soil temperatures reach 18° C and are rising. The seeding rate is 1 to 1.5 kg per 100m2 of Monaco seed in a well-prepared firm seedbed. Cover the seed with no more than 6mm of soil. Maintain adequate soil moisture around the seed using frequent but light irrigation.

During the grow-in phase, it is recommended to apply 2.5kg nitrogen per 100m2 every 2 weeks with the first application made 2 weeks after emergence. Continue this schedule for 60 to 90 days then apply 3.5 to 7.0 kg per 100m2 each month of the growing season. The management intensity level will determine the amount of nitrogen required monthly. Sports turf installations should use the higher rate while residential lawns may prefer to use the lower rate. It should also be noted that in autumn when Monaco is preparing for dormancy, it is recommended to apply additional amounts of potassium while significantly reducing nitrogen.

Maintaining Barenbrug Monaco Bermudagrass

Begin mowing the new stand approximately 3 to 4 weeks after emergence depending on the conditions at the time of establishment. The recommended minimum mowing height during establishment is 1 inch. Once the sod matures, the mowing height can be gradually reduced to a minimum of 1cm. As the mowing height is decreased, the required management level will be increased.
