The timing of the initial grass cutting following the distribution of additional seed is a crucial factor in establishing a healthy, dense turf. Premature cutting can disrupt seedling establishment, while delaying the process excessively can lead to undesirable conditions that hinder growth.
Properly managed turfgrass benefits from timely mowing post-overseeding. This process encourages tillering, promoting lateral growth and creating a thicker, more uniform stand. Historically, adherence to appropriate mowing schedules has been shown to reduce weed encroachment and improve overall turfgrass vigor.
