  • Asked by Jujufish from Pensacola, Fl
    08/10/2016
    Q
    Can I use TifBlair Centipede Grass Seed on existing grass of a different type ?
    I live in Pensacola, FL., 25-30 minutes from salt water. Can I use this on existing grass of a different type or does it have to be Centipede Grass. I am not sure what kind of grass I have. I am planning on using Hi-Yield Weed and Feed 15-0-10 first, as I have severe issues with weeds and dirt patches in the front yard and there is also noticeable sand as well as lots of snails. I am also thinking of applying Centipede Grass seed in hopes it will work. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you very much.

    Q
    After the TifBlair Centipede starts to germinate how long before you can apply insect granules and fungus granules?

    Typically, once you seed with TifBlair Centipede Grass Seed, you will want to wait at least until your second mowing to apply a post emergent herbicide or fungicide but an insecticide can be applied as it should not have an effect on the grass growing.
