[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1010584, member: 7795"] OK....while driving by the field I planted a little over 3 weeks ago (March 26th) I noticed several green lines..... :shock: .....appears some seed found adequate moisture and probably with the help of a tractor tire when cultipacking, managed to come up. [url=http://s676.photobucket.com/user/aws1982photo/media/A4EAC839-496F-4A55-A5BB-D53B968C9AF0-6754-00001144ED47E2C6_zps25ebbb85.jpg.html][img]http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv130/aws1982photo/A4EAC839-496F-4A55-A5BB-D53B968C9AF0-6754-00001144ED47E2C6_zps25ebbb85.jpg[/img][/url] This is Cheyenne II. It's a coated seed and the tag states it's 48% pure live seed. So using 50% for easy calculations, the math works out: 7 lbs per acre = 3.5 lbs pls, and if a lb of bermuda seed has 2 million seed this then puts out roughly 7 million seeds per acre. Now seeing as I made a ballpark guess on setting the machine, I did manage to set it near half of my intended target (second time across I pulled the tubes and dropped the seed on top) so that makes the seeding rate in this picture about 1.75 lbs to the acre or 3.5 million seeds per acre. As one can see, if conditions are right and the entire patch came up as this one little strip and it grew as bermuda grass is known to grow....1 or two lbs of pure live seed should be adequate if you don't want to cut for hay or graze the first year.
