[QUOTE="jdg, post: 1485520, member: 13350"] Most of the folks i've talked to with seeded varieties weren't satisfied with their plantings, especially if they had experience with the hybrids. Not sure how much management, fertilizer inputs, or what type of soil you're dealing with, but if you own the land, I would consider Tifton 85 or Russell. Quality and quantity blow away the seeded varieties, if they get what they need. I believe it would be worth the price of sprigging, or if you can time it properly around rains, you could try and establish from tops. I've successfully established from tops, but you have to have the correct amount of moisture following the transfer. Of course you need moisture after sprigging too. I've heard Russell is more forgiving post sprigging than T85. I had irrigation, so you could say i cheated. [/QUOTE]
