Monaco Bermudagrass™ is a registered trade mark of Johnston Seed Company, USA.


Description

Monaco is an improved seeded green couch variety that is dark green and is well adapted to most soils and grows the best in warm-season climates. Monaco has a fast establishment rate by spreading by both rhizomes and stolons to form a dense turfgrass. It has high wear, drought, heat and salt tolerance.


Other comments

For best results, Monaco should be planted in areas of full sunlight when soil temperatures reach 18° C and rising. Seeding rate is 1 to 1.5 kg per 100 m2 of Monaco seed in a well prepared firm seedbed. Cover seed with no more than 6 mm of soil. Maintain adequate soil moisture around seed using frequent but light irrigation. Commence mowing approx. 3-4 weeks after germination, or at such time the turfgrass will withstand mowing. During the grow-in phase, it is recommended to apply a starter fertiliser at recommended rate after emergence and a complete fertiliser following this each month of the growing season. The management intensity level will determine the amount of nitrogen required monthly.
