For best results and benefits, all toxic tall fescue should be killed before establishing MaxQ. A firm seedbed is important for good stand establishment. Seed can be drilled into a prepared firm seedbed, no-tilled into sod with a no-till drill or surface broadcast on a prepared seed bed and packed in with a culti-packer. Place seed at a depth of 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Planting too deep can result in poor stand emergence.
