Planting and Maintenance Management
Recommended seeding rate:
● General lawn: 30-45 g/m2
● Turf farm: 22-44 kg/mu
● Overseeding lawn: 20-25 g/m2
● High grass area: 35-45 g/m2
Germination and Establishment: Keep the seedbed moist to promote seed germination. Under ideal conditions, seedlings start to emerge within 7-14 days after sowing, and all seeds emerge after 21 days. The lawn can be fully established after 30 days.
Fertilization: Apply 2.5-3.5 g/m2 of nitrogen per growing season for best results. The total annual fertilizer application is 15-25 g/m2. Adjust the fertilizer amount based on climate, soil, and the purpose of the lawn.
Mowing: Depending on the use, the mowing height can be adjusted to 2.5-7.5 cm. The most favorable mowing height for lawns is 3.5-6.5 cm. However, the height to be cut each time should not exceed 1/3 of the total height. If the mowing height is lower than 2.5 cm, the lawn's recovery ability is reduced.
