PLANTING:

  • For best results and maximum benefit, all toxic tall fescue and troublesome annual grasses including cheatgrass, rescue grass and unwanted ryegrass should be killed prior to the blooming stage before establishing Lacefield MaxQII. A firm seedbed is important for good stand establishment. Seed can be drilled into a prepared, firm seedbed, no-tilled into killed sod with a no-till drill or surface broadcasted onto a prepared seed bed, and packed in with a culti-packer.

RATE:

  • 15- 20 lbs/acre in a prepared seedbed or 20-25 lbs/acre sod-seeded in stubble.

DEPTH:

  • 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Planting too deep can result in poor stand emergence.
