2. Soil Testing: Conduct a soil test to determine pH and nutrient levels. Adjust the soil pH to 6.0-7.0 using lime if necessary. Apply appropriate fertilizers based on the soil test results to ensure optimal growth conditions.
3. Seed Rate:
- Broadcasting on Prepared Seed Bed: Spread Genesis™ seed at a rate of 90 lbs per acre.
- No-Till Broadcasting: Increase the broadcast rate by 20% - 25% to ensure adequate coverage.
- Drilling: Reduce the rate to 70 lbs per acre to ensure optimal density and coverage.
4. Planting Depth: Ensure seeds are planted at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Achieving good seed-to-soil contact is crucial. If broadcasting, follow up by covering the seeds either by cultipacking, crimping existing crop down over the seed, or dragging to bury them slightly. This step is essential for successful germination.
5. Timing: Plant Genesis™ in the Fall. Ensure planting occurs 60-90 days before the first expected frost to allow adequate time for establishment.
6. Moisture: Ensure the soil is adequately moist during the planting process. Irrigate the area, if possible, if there has been insufficient rainfall to help seeds establish. Consistent moisture is crucial for the rapid growth of the blend.
7. Maintenance: Monitor the plot regularly for weed competition and manage as necessary. Ensure consistent moisture through rainfall or irrigation to support growth.
