In this week's article, we would like to give you some advice on how to get started in autumn, how to choose grass seeds, how to incorporate our products into the technology to get the best results.
Seed sown in autumn will germinate at a higher rate due to adequate rainfall and cooler weather. Weed germination rates are also reduced at this time, and grasses that grow to 3-5 cm tall will have a competitive advantage over them in the spring.
Before sowing:
- map the place where we would like to grass
- what kind of soil do we have (sandy, clay, maybe rubble)?
- what will we use the land for?
- prepare the soil for sowing
- buy only quality grass seed from specialised garden shops, where they can even give you expert advice
When sowing, these are the main points to look out for:
- keep the soil moist for the sprouting plants (this concerns the top 2-3 cm of the soil, where the grass roots are located)
- when spraying by hand, ensure even application of the seeds
- cover the seeds with 1-2 cm of soil
- the area should not be visited for 6-7 weeks after sowing.
How can we help our lawns get started?
Blackjak - Leonardite-based hummus preparation. It is most often referred to for its soil improvement properties, as it can loosen cohesive soils and make loose sandy soils more friable. However, we would now like to highlight another of its properties - its ability to accelerate germination.
Experience shows that humic acids in the vicinity of the seed stimulate enzyme activity in the seed, increase water uptake, improve nutrient mobility and reduce germination stress (e.g. salt stress, drought).
Blackjack and lawn care: two ways to use it
- Soaking. Place seeds in 1% solution for 6-12 hours. Higher concentrations may have inhibitory effects!
- Water the soil or the seedlings with a solution of 1-2%. According to US data, the recommended dose is 0.5-1.5 litres/1,000 m2. In hot weather, use the higher dose, in cooler weather (now) use the lower dose. Treatment can be repeated after 2-4 weeks.
Lawn care Micorrhiza
Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plants 90%, such as grass. Their use reduces fertiliser use (especially phosphorus), makes the lawn more responsive to stress situations and makes it more difficult for certain soil-borne pathogens to penetrate the plant.
MikoMax Garden
💚 MikoMax Garden mycorrhiza granules should be applied in one of the following ways:
- The product should be spread and worked in shallowly before lawn care. This method can also be used for turf installations.
- Mix with the lawn seeds and apply the mixture all at once.
Dosage: 360g/200m2
InoMyc
From Ino-Myc liquid mycorrhizae can be applied by sprayer or by irrigation with large quantities of water.
Dosage: 1dl/400 m2
Protection and growth stimulation in 1 round
After the area you have sown with the weed has started to turn green, a super solution is to mix a cocktail of 2dl Kelpak and 50g Tricho from Immune in 10l water.
About Kelp
Since it contains all the microelements, it thickens the plant cells, giving them better resistance to frost. Its biologically active substances improve the stress tolerance of the lawn. Its auxin hormone action promotes root development. It can serve as an adhesion enhancer and initial nutrient for Tricho Immun to help it multiply more quickly.
About Tricho Immune
It actively protects the lawn from fungal diseases (e.g. Fusarium) even in cold weather. It secretes substances that help plants to grow.
