Overseeding Ryegrass

Breeder: Kenneth Hignight - Advanta Seeds Pacific
Exp. Desig. - APR1802

T3 is your choice for a ryegrass that transitions easily and permanently. T3 does not return the following year as most ryegrasses do and transitions naturally without the added expense of chemical applications. When you need a high quality ryegrass that is designed for the use of overseeding golf courses, athletic fields, parks, lawns, & other areas where you want the ryegrass to transition easily and permanently in the spring, then T3 is your only choice. The dark green color and fine textured leaf offers a turf manager just what is needed to plant early in the fall & transition gradually in the spring.

Characteristics:

• T3 does not tolerate the spring heat providing a chemical free transition
• T3 transitions completely not to return the following year
• T3 has a natural dark green color & looks good when fertilizer levels run low.

Recommended Use:

For Overseeding Warm Season Turfgrasses i.e. Golf Courses, Athletic fields, Parks, Homes Lawns

Climatic Zones:

7, 8, 9, 10 (may not be adaptable to all areas within each climatic zone)

Under ideal conditions, germination begins in 3-6 days. When overseeding, care must be taken to ensure adequate seed to soil contact. Subject to germination rate, first mowing may begin within 14 days after sowing. Recommended mowing heights range from 1/8 to 1 ½ inch (3.2– 38.1 mm). T3 responds to 1/2 lb Nitrogen per application. A repeat application only as grass shows need due to fading color.
