Mohawk Bermudagrass
Developed by Dr. Lincoln Taylor at Virginia Tech, Mohawk is one of the most cold tolerant bermuda varieties available. It is high yielding and can be used for both grazing and hay production. When compared to other popular seeded bermudas, Mohawk is a proven top performer.
Planting Instructions
Plant when soil moisture is adequate. For spring planting, delay seeding until soil temperatures average 65 degrees or higher. 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.
