Cheyenne II Bermudagrass
Cheyenne II is an exclusive, certified hybrid variety of seeded bermudagrass developed through a cooperative relationship between Seeds West, Inc. and Texas A&M University. It is a single variety and not a bermudagrass blend, so it will not revert to common bermuda or change over time. Cheyenne II provides high yields, outstanding palatability and excellent leafiness for use as pasture grazing or high-quality hay production.
Planting Instructions
Plant when soil moisture is adequate. For spring planting, delay seeding until soil temperatures average 65 degrees or higher at a 4 inch depth. For summer plantings, do not plant when ambient temperatures are expected to be above the middle 90's. If weeds become problematic, mow the field periodically to reduce competition with the developing bermuda seedlings. To further reduce competition from weeds and grasses, delay the application of fertilizers containing nitrogen until the bermuda seedlings have fully emerged.
