Advantages of Seeded Bermudagrass

Many bermudagrass pastures are established using sprigs, requiring costly specialized equipment. Grit® | Yellow Jacket® is established from seed, making pasture establishment easier, more economical, and more convenient while still delivering high-quality forage performance.

Compared with cuttings or sprigs, seeded bermudagrass offers several advantages:

  • Lower establishment costs
  • Less specialized planting equipment
  • Greater ease and flexibility at planting
  • Quick cover and rapid establishment
  • Earlier forage production
  • The potential for several cuttings per season

Built for Warm-Season Forage Production

Bermudagrass is an extremely drought-tolerant, warm-season perennial grass adapted to a wide range of soil conditions. Grit® | Yellow Jacket® performs across the regions where bermudagrass is traditionally grown, providing dependable summer forage when cool-season grasses may slow down under heat and drought.
