Establishment Tips
1.) Note soil types (droughty, wet, etc.)
2.) Soil test and apply fertility before tillage. Lime should ideally be applied 6-12 months in advance.
3.) Control perennial weeds prior to land preparation.
4.)Select appropriate mixture for soil types, livestock and marketing needs and harvest management.
5.) Determine ideal seeding time for your local area.
6.) Prepare a level, firm seedbed, or if using no-till, control vegetation prior to seeding (appropriate non- residual herbicide)
7.) Calibrate seeder for appropriate seeding rate and depth.
a. Most of our mixtures work best in the large box.
b. For calibration, see page 52 in the 2014 Product Guide or download from kingsagriseeds.com
c. Seed at 1/8 to 1/4” with about 10% of seed on surface.
d. Press wheels and/or cultipacking are critical to a good seeding. If conditions are dry, cultipacking twice is very beneficial.
