| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the information provided on grass seed bags. Discusses ways of measuring quality of seeds, minimum purity, and germination percentages. Describes how to calculate pure live seeds, stating "the number of pure live seeds per pound of a given variety should be multiplied by the percentage of seeds that can be expected to grow to maturity." States that "knowing just what is in the turf seed bag and how to use that information to calculate the desired seed rates is the first step in establishing a successfully seeded turfed area." |
