In the Transition zone this resistance minimize the need for extensive maintenance. Generally means early spring and early fall. Further north, late spring and late 2 to 3 pounds of nitrogen as part of a balanced fertilizer applied an- summer is preferred. Titanium 2LS should be sown a rate of 6 to nually is all that’s required. Cutting heights should range between 2 9 lbs per 1000 sq ft (275 to 400 lbs per acre), lightly covered with to 3 inches. Under controlled conditions heights down to 1 inch can soil and kept moist until after the first cutting. Maximum density is be satisfactorily maintained. achieved by planting with a slicer/seeder or following aerification, and with the application of a starter fertilizer. First mowings are gen- erally within three weeks, or when plants first reach 3 in. in height. Overseed existing tall fescue at a rate of 225 to 300 lbs per acre.
