Overseed is right around the corner, and our 70,000 lbs of seed was delivered today! We will begin dropping seed on Monday, 9/30. After a successful summer transition, we are feeling confident as we head into seeding. A few things left to check off the todo list are:
Spot treatment of areas most susceptible to disease with fungicide and wetting agent.
Application of a growth regulator to slow down the growth of the bermudagrass. This gives the rye grass a competitive advantage going into overseed.
Application of an herbicide that limits the amount of poa annua that germinates during the overseed grow in.
Complete 2 more green's verticut and topdressing.
Calibrate seed spreaders to account for this year's seed size.
Create overseed irrigation programs in the central irrigation control.
With overseed comes cooler temperatures; which I think we are all looking forward to! Don't forget to check out the Meet The Instructors event on 10/28 and we'll see you for opening day on 10/29!
Almost there!
