USAGE SUGGESTIONS


Seeding and Dosage: Germination can take from 4 to 10 days depending directly on soil temperatures. Note that the required soil temperature is above 8°C. The dosage is 40-50 gr/sqm; maximum doses are recommended in case of high temperatures or imperfect seedbed preparation. It is always advisable to use lawn soil
Mowing: Perform the first cut when the grass reaches 8-10 cm and during annual management in shaded areas do not cut below 6 cm
Irrigation: During seeding and overseeding keep the soil constantly moist until full germination. In summer, if there is a total lack of rain, irrigate if possible with 5-15 mm of water per week.
Nutrition: Phosphatic fertilization at seeding. For maintenance in shade, opt for an N/K ratio of 1:2 with no more than 15 units of nitrogen per sqm annually; in sun/shade and/or full sun conditions, it is good practice not to exceed 20 units of nitrogen per sqm annually
