Bahia grass can grow in many soils, but the most suitable one is a little acidic sandy soil. Before planting, we need to tidy up the ground to make the seedbed stronger and smoother. Before sowing, the fertilizer should be fully applied, mainly phosphate and potash, especially phosphate, which is very important for the growth of Bahia grass. Before sowing, the fertilizer will be buried into the ground by about 10 cm, so that the effect will be better. Nitrogen fertilizer is not suitable to be used as base fertilizer in front of sowing, because if nitrogen fertilizer is particularly easy to make it grow a lot of weeds.
The most suitable sowing season for Bahia grass is at the beginning of spring or summer. If there is not enough rainfall or good irrigation conditions, do not plant it at the hottest time in summer, otherwise the effect of its emergence will become very bad. If it's used for lawns, the planting amount can be increased a little, but if it's used for soil and water conservation or forage, it's a little less. Generally, within 3 to 5 weeks of planting, it needs to be watered several times and a small amount every day. When its young seedlings grow, the frequency of watering can be reduced. But the amount of water is to increase, so that it can promote better development and growth.
Generally, it is more drought resistant, but it is better to grow under the condition of irrigation or even rainfall. When there is no frost in winter, it can keep green all the year round. But when the temperature is low in winter, it will turn yellow. At this time, we can cover it with ryegrass that is more than one year old or perennial, so that the lawns are always green.
