Question:"You have recommended a rate of 5 pounds to 1,000 square feet for seeding putting greens with German mixed bent seed. Why is it that frequently seeding rates as high as 15 pounds to 1,000 square feet are recommended by those who have had experience?"
Source of Question:New Jersey
Answer/Response:"Three pounds of bent seed of good quality sown on 1,000 square feet will give a good stand of grass. We consider therefore that 5 pounds of bent seed of standard quality is ample for 1,000 square feet and that any heavier rates of seeding represent merely a waste of money. If the seedsman provides a good grade of bent it should be possible to get a good stand with this rate but if he furnishes a very poor grade largely composed of chaff it is possible that it would take 15 pounds to give a good stand. However, the big majority of seedsmen are handling well cleaned seed and we think you are perfectly safe in using the 5-pound rate."
