Water every 3 days heavy with at least 1” of water. Once turf is established less water will be required. |

Mid-April or May application of insecticide to control mole crickets or other unwanted insects. |
Tifton Bermuda has very few diseases if properly maintained. Annual de-thatching and core aerating is sometimes required to ensure good growth habits. If you think turf has a disease, contact local nurseryman or extension service for information. |
