Technical Information
Planting
Best planted late summer through early Fall, with Spring a ‘second-best’ option in areas with hot, humid summers. Ideal seedbed prep should include loosening soil to a depth of 6” with approximately 0.5” of finer seedbed at the surface. Prior to seeding, apply a locally recommended seed starter fertilizer at the suggested rate. Seed is best applied with a broadcast spreader, slice/slit seeder, or for larger areas, hydroseeding.
Establishment
Haymaster Pro may be planted in Spring or Fall. In areas with extreme summers, Fall seeding is recommended. A well-prepared, firm seedbed is ideal for seeding. Plant no deeper than 1/4 inch. Haymaster Pro can also be no-till drilled into an existing alfalfa stand.
