Maintenance
JUNE THROUGH AUGUST
Mowing
Mow to the desired height. Bermudagrass has a very wide range of acceptable heights (5⁄8 to 21⁄2 inches). Maintaining a lower height will require more frequent mowing to prevent scalping. Mowing heights below 1 inch will require a reel mower and very level ground; therefore, most bermudagrass lawns are maintained between 1 and 21⁄2 inches.
Fertilization
To minimize spring dead spot, apply no more than 1⁄2 pound N per 1,000 square feet in September, or four weeks before the first expected frost. Use a low N, high potassium fertilizer like 5-10-30, or supplement with 1 pound of potash (K2O) per 1,000 square feet four to six weeks before expected frost using 11⁄2 pounds of muriate of potash (KCl) (0-0-60) or 2 pounds of potassium sulfate (0-0-50). (The third number represents potassium.)
Insect Control
Curative applications applied in early fall may control some white grubs, but efficacy will vary depending on the size of grub. Later instars (larger grubs) are harder to treat than early instars. Identify and make note of problem areas for preventive applications in late spring to early summer.
Disease Control
If spring dead spot was a problem, apply an appropriate fungicide to problem areas at the highest label rates. Applications are most effective when soil temperatures are between 60 and 80°F. To move the fungicide into the root zone, apply with a large volume of water (5 gallons per 1,000 square feet) or water in with at least 1⁄8 inch of irrigation immediately after application. Map areas for future target applications so that you will treat only the affected areas.
Watering
Although irrigation is not usually necessary, make sure the soil doesn’t get powder-dry.
SEPTEMBER THROUGH NOVEMBER
Mowing
Continue mowing using the March to May guidelines until several weeks before the first expected frost. In the piedmont: If the lawn is not overseeded in the winter, raise the mowing height 1⁄2 inch to provide more protection from winter kill. Raise the mowing height 1⁄2 inch in early to mid-September in the mountains, about mid to late September in the piedmont, and late September to mid-October in the coastal plain.
Fertilization
Have your soil tested. Ask your local Extension agent about a free soil test. Then apply the nutrient your lawn needs. If you don’t test, apply a complete nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (N-P-K) turf-grade fertilizer with a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio (that is, 12-4-8 or 16-4-8). For a basic level of fertility, fertilize with 1 pound of N per 1,000 square feet in mid-September and again in November (about the time the grass is green but not actively growing).
You need to apply 1 pound of N per 1,000 square feet, so how much fertilizer do you need to buy? Divide 100 by the FIRST number on the fertilizer bag. (The first number always represents N content.) For example, if you’ve got a 10-10-10 fertilizer, divide 100 by 10 and you get 10. That means you need to buy 10 pounds of fertilizer for every 1,000 square feet of lawn.

Tahoma 31 Bermuda Grass 5 days out #viral #home #lawn #himalayas #frozen #drought #tolérance #dog
Developed by the turfgrass experts at OSU
With a long history of developing innovative turfgrass cultivars, Tahoma 31 is the product of 10 years of research at Oklahoma State University, with features confirmed by more than two dozen universities through the National Turfgrass Evaluation program.
Rated # 1
In every major category, Tahoma 31 outperforms other bermudas including
TifTuf, Latitude 36, Iron Cutter, NorthBridge, Tifway 419 and Celebration.
Low Water Use
Comparing evapotranspiration rates, Tahoma 31 fared best while TifTuf used the most water. Overall, Tahoma 31 used 18% less water than TifTuf.
Cold Tolerance
By the end of the NTEP study, Tahoma 31 was rated by far with the greatest winter survivability in the three year study period, 2014 - 2017.
Early Spring Green-up
In NTEP tests, Tahoma 31 ranked at the top spot for early spring green-up among all vegetative bermudagrass cultivars tested in 16 states.
Turf Quality
Turf quality ratings in NTEP tests at 17 locations over 5 years show Tahoma 31’s exceptional turf quality among bermudagrasses.
Traffic Tolerance
Turfgrass quality under traffic in NTEP National Bermudagrass Test. Tahoma 31 exhibits excellent traffic tolerance compared to all other bermudagrass cultivars.
Shade Tolerance
In the opinion of the researchers, Tahoma 31 is a great choice (among bermudagrasses) for partial shaded locations in the transition zone of the US.

NEW TURF BERMUDAGRASS ‘OKC 1131’
‘OKC 1131’ bermudagrass is an interspecific F1 hybrid improved for high quality turf use. The grass can only be vegetatively propagated due to its infertility. It was created in 2007 and has been tested in multiple locations over many years. ‘OKC 1131’ has been tested in the 2013 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) (http://www.ntep.org/bg.htm). The NTEP National Bermudagrass Test provided data from 17 locations in 2013 and 2014, and from 19 location in 2015. Major improvements in turfgrass performance and characteristics of ‘OKC 1131’ bermudagrass, relative to the four standard cultivars ‘Latitude 36’, ‘Tifway’, ‘Patriot’ and ‘Celebration’, are described below.
‘OKC 1131’ has been in the top performing group for turfgrass quality in the NTEP test. In 2014, ‘OKC 1131’ demonstrated an overall turfgrass quality equal to that of ‘Latitude 36’ but better than ‘Patriot’, ‘Tifway’, and ‘Celebration’. In 2015, the overall turfgrass quality of ‘OKC 1131’ was higher than that of the four standard cultivars. ’OKC 1131’ has a dark green leaf color, fine leaf blades, short internodes, and high turf density. The grass performed well in both the transition zone and the southern regions in the USA.
‘OKC 1131’ has exceptional winter survivability and excellent spring greenup. The winter between 2013 and 2014 was extremely cold at several northern sites in the NTEP test, and ‘OKC 1131’ had the lowest winterkill ratings. The NTEP test at Lexington, KY indicated that ‘OKC 1131’ had a winterkill rate of 25% and was significantly better than ‘Tifway’ (99%), ‘Celebration’ (99%), ‘Latitude 36’ (73%), and ‘Patriot’ (50%). The NTEP test at West Lafayette, IN indicated that ‘OKC 1131’ had a winterkill rate of 4% and was significantly lower than ‘Tifway’ (98%) and ‘Celebration’ (97%) but not different from ‘Latitude 36’ and ‘Patriot’. ‘OKC 1131’ had better spring greenup ratings than the four standard cultivars in both 2014 and 2015, further indicating its cold hardiness.
‘OKC 1131’ has significantly improved drought resistance and water use efficiency. In the NTEP test, the field drought resistant trial performed at College Station, TX in 2015 reported ‘OKC 1131’ was one of the top performers for turf quality and living ground coverage under drought conditions. In the test, ‘OKC 1131’ had turf quality superior to that of the four standard cultivars. In a separate field trial conducted under well-watered conditions at Stillwater, OK, water use rates of ‘OKC 1131’ were consistently the least among bermudagrasses tested including ‘TifTuf’, ‘Celebration’ and ‘Tifway’ over three years (2013-15).
In addition, ‘OKC 1131’ has an excellent establishment rate, sufficient sod tensile strength for commercial sod production, improved salinity resistance, and high traffic tolerance.
‘OKC 1131’ turf bermudagrass was released for commercial production on June 7, 2017.

it was very windy, and I had to do a lot of blind casting. I should've had 5 fish to fry but I was mistaken about the slot limit. Most of my fish were 15" and one was 17". I only eat saltwater fish and white bass, and sometimes crappie.
