<p> NRCS, SC Ver. 1/2015</p><p>Client Name : Tract#: </p><p>Address: Field #: </p><p>Area to be Planted (Acres or 1,000 sq. ft.): </p><p>Site Preparation</p><p>- Lime, Phosphorous (P) and Potash (K) (according to soil test) should be added prior to planting. N should not be added until Bermuda emerges. Addition of N fertilizer, will promote weed growth. -Field should be disked prior to sprigging. - A preemergent herbicide is strongly recommended to deter annual weeds during establishment - Sprigs should be checked to make sure they are viable.</p><p>Materials Required</p><p>Material Type (Analysis) Amount Lime, P, & K: Before planting, According to TEST Fertilizer: Nitrogen 50-60#/acre split into 2-3 applications during the growing season, after plants emerge</p><p>Area Sprigs Rate Germ (see map) Coastal Bermuda 60-80 bu per acre NA NRCS, SC Ver. 1/2015 Stand Maintenance:</p><p>**FENCE ANIMALS OUT FOR the first GROWING SEASON**</p><p>1) A preemergent herbicide should be applied. Consult with Clemson Extension for suggestions and rates.</p><p>2) Field MUST BE mowed or grazed once it reaches ~6-8” to prevent thatch buildup and stand loss. Continue as needed during the growing season to prevent shading from weeds.</p><p>3) Consult Clemson Extension for herbicide suggestions if broadleaf weeds are a problem, grassy weeds can only be controlled by premergent herbicides just prior to planting or mowing/grazing during the growing season. If properly fertilized Bermuda will out compete most annual weeds.</p><p>4) Addition of 50-60 pounds/acre of Nitrogen during the growing season will aid in more rapid establishment. DO NOT FERTILIZE within 30 days of a freeze or frost.</p><p>** Stand failure due to not following these guidelines will be the responsibility of the producer, not NRCS. Cost to replant will be the producers responsibility.</p><p>______Prepared by Date</p><p>______Landowner Signature Date</p>
