Its all about seed count so definitely double the usual KBG rate if the seed weighs 2x as much.

 

Barenbrug has listed in some of their literature that you dont need to increase the rate because if greater germination rates and less disease pressure was a result of the coating. I am going to be using some L-93XD bentragss yellowjacket coated seed in a few weeks to overseed my green and "fairway" area. I am planning on going with a slightly higher rate but not double.

 

@Ngilbe36 and @Alohacessna thank you both for your replies.

Seed count makes sense. According to Barenburg there are 1,300,000 Turf Blue *** seeds per pound. Seeding at 2 lbs per 1000 means you need about 18 seeds per square inch. 2,600,000 seeds / 144,000 sq inches per 1000 sqft. That would look like this:



Does that density look correct?

Also I just heard back from Barenburg and they said 4-6 lbs is correct since 50% of the bag weight is from the seed coating.

So I'll add so more seed tonight.
