| Question: | "We are advised to seed our putting greens with a mixture of colonial bent, velvet bent, and some red fescue. It is suggested that in order to get a quick growth of turf in a year we should sow this mixture at the rate of 3 ounces to a square yard. Is this rate of seeding in accordance with your recommendations?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Our experiments as well as results obtained in general pratice in the United States and Canada give us data upon which we our recommendations on rates of seeding. We recommend seeding bent on putting greens at the rate of from 3 to 5 pounds to 1,000 square feet, and fescue at the rate of from 10 to 15 pounds, provided the seed test shows a high percentage of germination. Therefore rates of seeding for mixtures of the two would come between the extremes, depending on the percentage of each kind seed in the mixture. It would seem that the rate you mention, which is equivalent to over 20 pounds to 1,000 square feet, is considerably more than necessary. In the United States we consider that the addition of fescue to bent for putting greens is wasteful, since bent soon crowds out the fescue under the close cutting demanded for putting greens." |
