Bermuda Grass Green Up in Indiana

A couple of photos from this week around Indiana. The first photo (taken Monday, April 25) is from the training camp field for the Indianapolis Colts at Anderson University. Although difficult to tell in the photo, the Patriot bermuda grass is starting to green up.

The next two photos (taken Thursday, April 28) taken are from the women's soccer practice field at Indiana University. As you can see, 2 hours south makes a big difference! This Patriot bermuda grass is green already. The taller turf is ryegrass that was sprayed with Katana herbicide earlier in the week. This field was a cool season field that had Patriot inter-sprigged into ryegrass canopy last summer. Obviously, this is an effective option for bermuda conversion.

I will continue to follow these fields, as well as the fields at Rose-Hulman and the Colts practice facility in 2011. As you will see, bermuda grass is an option for schools/universities in central and southern Indiana.
