germinates quickly comes in earlier and provides
stabilization of the soil while the grass germinates and
begins to take hold. After the season is over the millet
dies out and the permanent grass is in place. It is used in
game plots for amount and quality of seeds produced.
Seeding: Planted at 30-40 lbs./A or 2lb. /1000sq and can be
broadcast or drilled but must be packed into the soil ½
inches. It is usually from May- August if weather permits.
Adaptations: Well draining soils in warm season areas with
slight acidity and can be grown in soils of low fertility.
Preparation: Well prepared seedbed .
