- Mixes Well with Other Low Maintenance Grasses
- Economical for Large Areas
Bouteloua dactyloides
Cody Buffalograss is rapidly becoming the standard by which buffalograss is measured, having established itself as a premier warm season turfgrass. Faster establishment, higher density, lower growth rate, excellent winter hardiness, low water requirement, darker color, fine texture and a wide area of adaptation give Cody the edge as the choice for low maintenance areas.

Turf management
- Requirements
- Grows best in areas receiving at least 6 to 8 hours direct sunlight per day.
- Good soil drainage is essential.
- Not suited to sandy soils.
- Establishment
- Seeding date: When sustained soil temperature reaches 60° F and is rising.
- Seeding rate: 80-120 kgs. seed/hectare. into a firm seed bed.
- Seeding depth: 6 to 12mm deep
- Seep seed moist through emergence.
- Apply 30kg N/hectare as pre-seed fertiliser.
- Weed Control: Plant into a weed free seed bed. Keep turf mowed frequently to reduce competition from weeds and encourage the tiller growth and spreading of the buffalo grass.
- Mowing
- 50 to 100 mm for home lawns.
- Low maintenance areas may be mowed taller or not at all.
- Frequency is affected by amount of watering and fertilizer.
- Avoid removing more than one-third the turf height at any one mowing.
- Watering
- Deep soak with no less than 25mm once a month from July to September for higher maintenance areas, depending on natural precipitation.
- Soak soil before winter if soil is dry.
- Occasional or no watering for low maintenance areas.
- Fertilising
- First application – 3 weeks after green up
- Second application – 8 weeks later
- 40 to 60kgs. actual Nitrogen/hectare./season
- Less on low maintenance and natural areas.
- Use higher rates for best quality.
- Weed Control
- Avoid frequent watering, short mowing and over fertilization.
- Minimize early season watering.
- Control broadleaf weeds in the fall and/or spring.
- Apply Pre-emergent in the spring for grassy weeds.
- Many cool season weeds can be controlled with Round-Up when buffalo grass is dormant.
- 100% Bouteloua dactyloides
