Guymon Bermudagrass is a warm season, creeping, sod forming perennial, that performs satisfactorily as a turf grass, and as a pasture grass. Released in 1982 by Oklahoma State University, it is adaptable to a wide variety of soil types. It can be established from seed, with excellent results, and is heat and drought tolerant. Guymon Bermudagrass, was selected specifically for its seed producing potential and extra winter-hardiness. It is also resistant to wear and tear, and is relatively free from pests and diseases commonly found in other bermudagrass varieties. In the pasture, where winterkill can be a problem with other seeded varieties, Guymon will survive and maintain its stand and production level. When cut twice, July and August, Guymon averages 2-3 tons of hay per acre per cutting; 4-6 tons of hay per year when combined with fall grazing, September through October. Guymon also makes an attractive turf grass with good sod density and color. It is excellent for lawns, playgrounds, athletic fields and golf courses. In athletic fields it produces a sod that is more acceptable to interseeding annual cool season grasses for fall and early spring use than other varieties. Guymon Bermudagrass also provides excellent results when used for highway and roadside applications for soil stabilization along roads, dams and steep embankments. Planting preparation: Plant when soil temperatures reach 65-86 degrees Fahrenheit. Seeds should be planted about 1/8" deep on heavy soils to about 1/4" on lighter soils. Lime and fertilize soil as needed. Seeding rates: Pasture and highway ROWs: 6-10 lbs PLS per acre Playground, lawn, athletic field, golf course use: 1-2 lbs PLS per 1000 ft. Soil stabilization uses: 10-40 lbs PLS per acre |
