THIS WEEK’S FIELD TIP
  Fall field renovation and fall overseeding of warm season grasses is coming fast. It’s time to start shopping for your seed. The 2016 crop of seed is in the midst of harvesting and will soon hit your suppliers shelves. It pays to be vigilant about the seed you will be purchasing. If you purchase strictly by price, remember the old saying, “you get what you paid for”. Old crop (last year’s) with a lower germination percentage and grass seed that contains a percentage of weed seed often are some of the reasons for lower priced seed. I don’t know about you, but if it’s going into MY field, it better be clean. Read the seed tag. Reference this excellent educational piece by Penn State’s department of Plant Science: Turfgrass Seed and Seed Mixtures. Be sure to read this piece before you make your next grass seed purchase so you can be an informed buyer.
