Product details

Paspalum is a type of lawn grass known for its broad, coarse leaves and thick rhizomes.

It forms a beautiful lawn when well-established and is highly drought and heat tolerant, making it suitable for dry and hot areas. Paspalum grass grows best in full sun and requires regular watering and mowing to maintain its appearance.

Key Features:

Growth Habit: Paspalum grass grows by bunching, with rhizomes growing laterally to produce roots and leaves.

Shade Tolerance: Poor shade tolerance; best grown in areas with plenty of sunlight.

Competitor Plants: Competes poorly with broadleaf and other grass species; control of competitor plants is important.

Drought and Heat Tolerance: Performs well in dry conditions and can recover well due to underground rhizomes.

Cold Tolerance: Very poor cold tolerance; grows slowly or remains dormant in cold areas.

Uses:

Recreational Lawns: Ideal for creating lush, green lawns for recreational purposes.

Sports Pitches: Suitable for sports fields due to its durability and ability to withstand heavy use.

Soil Erosion Control: Effective in controlling soil erosion due to its strong root system.

Caring for Paspalum Lawn Grass:

Broad and coarse leaves with thick rhizomes from which leaves grow.

Planting:

Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by removing any unwanted plants, rocks, and debris. Loosen the soil and mix in organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.

Sowing Seeds: Sow Paspalum seeds evenly over the prepared soil. Lightly rake the soil to cover the seeds and water them gently.

Watering:

Initial Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until the grass is established. Water lightly but frequently during this period.

Established Lawn: Once established, Paspalum is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering. Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth.

Mowing:

Mowing Height: Mow Paspalum grass to a height of 1.5 to 2 inches. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time.

Mowing Frequency: Mow regularly to maintain a neat appearance and prevent the grass from becoming too tall.

Fertilization:

Nutrient Needs: Fertilize Paspalum grass with a balanced fertilizer to provide essential nutrients. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for application rates and frequency.

Timing: Apply fertilizer during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, when the grass is actively growing.

Competitor Plant Control:

Pre-Emergent Herbicides: Use pre-emergent herbicides to prevent competitor plant seeds from germinating. Apply them in early spring before competitor plants start to grow.

Post-Emergent Herbicides: Use post-emergent herbicides to control existing competitor plants. Spot-treat competitor plants as needed.
