Chilly Verde Forage Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) is a warm-season, perennial, sod-forming grass is a tall forage bermudagrass with wide, soft leaves. It shows rapid establishment from seed and aggressive spreading from stolons and rhizomes. Chilly Verde has persisted through cold winters in North Carolina, where it was developed, and has excellent heat and drought tolerance. Chilly Verde is adapted to a wide range of soil types and soil pH from 4.5 - 8.0.

When grass is 6 to 8 inches tall you may begin grazing. The best time for cutting is one month after last cutting to get the highest protein levels. Lowest cutting or grazing height should be 3 to 4 inches. Under ideal conditions, Chilly Verde will usually germinate within several weeks. It is hardy forage that is adapted to a wide range of soils from sand to heavy clay. This variety is very drought tolerant but performs best in moist soils.

Seeding Rate: 15 - 20 lbs/acre.
Seeding Depth: 1/8" - 1/4"

Establishment

Bermudagrass is an extremely drought-tolerant warm season perennial grass that is adapted to a wide range range of soil conditions. Soil temperatures should be at least 65F and warming when planting.  Fertilizer should be applied based on results from a soil sample and Nitrogen should not be applied until 3 - 4 inches of growth. When planted at the right depth and temperature, bermudagrass emerges in 14 - 21 days. Weed control is also a key factor for success. Light grazing or mowing during establishment can help mitigate the growth of weeds. 

Seed Bed Preparation:

Proper seed bed preparation cannot be stressed enough when it comes to planting any bermudagrass. Seed bed firmness is especially important if no-till drills or broadcast seeders are used.  Chilly Verde should be planted in full sun on well-drained soil. Proper drainage is essential for this variety to have successful establishment and development.

Planting bermudagrass in a firm seed bed helps in proper seed placement and reduces the chance of burying the seed too deeply with loose soil. It also provides good seed to soil contact allowing for better soil moisture movement to the seed. Bermudagrass planted in loose seed beds can often be identified by quicker seedling emergence in the wheel tracks of the planter, than in the rest of the field.
