Nevada is classified as a Transition Zone because of its mild seasonal climate. Cool season grasses grow faster in the spring and fall and slow down in the summer/winter. Most people prefer the look of a green yard all year round without having to overseed. Fescue will stay green during the winter if properly fertilized before late fall. Bermuda goes dormant in the winter and requires an overseeding of rye grass to keep the yard green.

Warm season grasses, like Bermuda, look outstanding and are more drought tolerant during the summer months. Unfortunately they turn white when dormant, which can last for several months depending on your area. Cool season grasses like tall fescue are green year round and although it needs extra care in the summer, this grass seems to be the correct choice for most lawns in the Triad and Triangle areas.

Probably not, since native grass in good condition needs little or no management inputs, there is no cheaper way to put forage in an animal if you have plenty of acres. On the other hand, if you have few acres, and must raise a large number of animals on a small acreage, then an introduced grass might fit you better.

The last frost-free date for Central Jersey is around May 15. Listen to the weather reports for any late frosts and protect sensitive plants with caps or covers. For more information please visit our Planning a Vegetable Garden page.

No one. Several groups in New York State are comtemplating a grass pelleting enterprise for the 2005-06 heating season.

Remember, in the Spring, high ambient air temperatures promote crown and leaf development at the expense of the root system in Bermuda grass. When soil temperatures rise above 65°F (18 C) root growth starts. The plant is able to pick up appropriate nutrients and access deeper soil-water resources. When soil temperatures are above 65°F , more aggressive plant growth can be met with more aggressive cultural practices.

The difference between hulled and unhulled - Hulled Bermudagrass seed have had a "outer" seed coat removed by seed producers using mechanical means, much like you remove a "jacket" when you come in from the cold. This removed seed coat allows water to enter into the seed quicker than if the protective jacket was still in place. The object of all this - removing the hull is to decrease the time it takes for the seed to germinate. Resulting a a more quickly established lawn.

A warm-up is an activity that gets your muscles "warmed up". Usually a 5 minute bike ride at a steady comfortable pace, or a brisk 5 minute walk, is enough. Most people like to go until they "break a sweat". A cool-down is just the opposite. You want to gradually slow the body down. This is usually done by biking/walking at a fairly fast pace and gradually slowing down over a few minutes. Stretching also makes up a part of the cool down.

Peak season in Bermuda begins in May through October where all hotels, restaurants, shops and sightseeing attractions are open all year round. Off season provides lower rates for hotels and air travel if you are on a budget.

Manaus is situated 2 degrees south of the equator and here the temperature is more or less constant the whole year; it varies from 25 to 35 degrees C. Very occasionally it gets warmer than 35 C. There are usually some clouds in the sky, and there is a tropical shower every few days, which is a nice change when it comes. When there is a shower this is usually accompanied by a strong wind. It does not often rain much longer than that.

Bermuda goes DORMANT when temperatures start dropping below 65 degrees. Once a frost / freeze occurs the grass blades loose their chlorophyll that keeps them looking green, resulting in a dormant / brownish - tan color. The grass will remain this way until extended warm temperatures return in late spring. The only solution is to OVERSEED the Bermuda. It is NOT recommended that a young first year stand of Bermuda be overseeded. You should wait until the second year to overseed with a Ryegrass.

The main purpose of warming up and cooling down is to reduce your risk of injury. Increasing the blood supply to the working muscles is the best way to "ready" your muscles for your workout.

Place the product in a plastic bag and put in the freezer for 1 - 4 hours, depending on the size of the product and the desired temperature. The plastic bag will preserve the aromatherapy effect.

Once again, this varies. During the summer it can be 2 minutes or less, while during the winter, as much as 10 minutes. Warmed up, (from driving) it can take 30 seconds or so for ICE off to occur. Keep in mind, once you've got it warmed up, you want to do as much of your driving as possible in this state, because you've got the systems to their efficient temperatures for a great performance.

No. In fact one of the features that keeps maintenance costs down is that Zenith grows best on low nitrogen application – in the range of 2 to 3 pounds annually while bermudagrass grows best when receiving ¾ to 1 pound of actual nitrogen per acre per month.

Bermuda is a semi-tropical island. We enjoy a mild climate all year because of the warm Gulf Stream, but we do experience seasons although moderately. Our most hottest and humid months are from July to mid October with temperatures averaging 85F. Our winter months are from December to March, temperatures averaging 65F +. Bermuda doesn’t have an identifiable rainy season as rain falls evenly throughout the year. For a look at Bermuda’s weather pages, please view: www.bermudaweather.

There are many management scenarios that would work but one of the simplest would be to graze the native from April until June 30, then let it rest until after frost. This will lead to a healthy native grass stand. The Bermuda portion would be fertilized May 1 and August 30. It would then be grazed from July through November. Cattle would then wintered on the dormant native grass with the addition of a grain based supplement. Any left over Bermuda grass would be grazed as needed.

Under high fertility, some of the newer varieties of Bermuda have the potential to produce above 6 tons of forage when high rates of nitrogen are applied on deep, moderately drained soils. With no fertility, on average, we expect 1 ton of production/year on Bermuda grass pastures. With the rainfall we receive in S.E. Oklahoma, 3 to 4 tons/ac is easy to accomplish under the proper soil fertility practices.

Mid February through Mid April is the best time. Later than this, we run into problems with excessive annual grass competition and moisture loss during the time the Bermuda grass is trying to spread.

That depends! In pastures that have no cool season grasses in them like ryegrass, fertilizing from Mid April to the first of May would be recommended. If the pasture has ryegrass, fertilizing for the Bermuda growth should take place May 1 to June 1. If fertilized earlier than this the ryegrass will use up that fertilizer before the Bermuda has a chance to begin growing rapidly. If fall forage is needed, fertilizing Bermuda in late august can provide high quality grazing well into December.

Unfertilized old growth Bermuda, will have protein contents in the 3 to 5 % range. Fall fertilized Bermuda has been known to hold protein contents of 10 to 12% all the way up into January. Probably not, sprigging a Bermuda grass pasture can cost upwards of $100 per acre, and the loss of a years worth of production. If the pasture has Bermuda grass plants scattered throughout the field, it would be more cost effective to properly fertilize it.

The best way would be to plant it with a specialized seeder that can handle small seed. One brand is a Brillion seeder that drops the seed and a set of packer wheels push it into contact with the soil. If a seeder is un-available, scattering the seed with a three point whirly bird seeder can be effective. Start with the gate on the seeder closed as tightly as it will go and still allow seed to come out. Test it on a few acres and adjust it open if enough seed is not being applied.

Disk it in September or October and let it winter kill. You will not get 100% control and you will essentially be re-sprigging the Bermuda grass. Also expect new plants to come up from seed. There are some chemicals that are active against Bahia. Check with your extension educator for chemical options.

Ryegrass can be mixed with fertilizer and applied to the pasture through the fertilizer spreader or it can be spread with a three point whirly bird type seeder. It can also be planted by a drill with a small seed box but care should be taken to not plant it deeper than ¼ inch. With broadcast seeding, pulling a chain harrow over the pasture after seeding will increase germination and survival of the plants.

Your lawn may have a disease called Spring Dead Spot. This disease is very difficult to control. Rake the dead areas to encourage fill in from healthy grass plants growing adjacent to the spot.
