Description: NEW FALCON IV TURF TYPE FESCUE FOR SUN OR SHADY AREAS #1 RATED TURF TYPE VARIETYDEEP GREEN COLORHIGHLY INSECT AND DISEASE RESISTANTDROUGHT AND HEAT TOLERANTLOW GROWING LESS MOWINGFINE LEAF TEXTUREDEEP ROOT SYSTEMWEED FREE SEED Falcon IV is a new and improved, heat and disease resistant, tall fescue variety developed for superior turf quality across a wide area of adaptation. It is dark green in color, fine textured with excellent wear tolerance. Falcon IV exhibits a unique combination of traits including dense growth, improved turf quality and resistance to brown patch incited by Rhizoctonia solani. Falcon IV is an endophyte enhanced tall fescue with >92% Neotyphodium coenophialum endophyte which provides resistance to a number of leaf and crown feeding insects and nematodes. The presence of endophyte also contribute to improved biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, faster seedling establishment, enhanced fall recovery and reduced summer weed invasion. Falcon IV ranked #1 and statistically tied for 1st in mean turf quality among 160 entries in the 2001 NTEP Tall Fescue Test Progress Report No. 03-1 conducted across 31 U.S. locations. Falcon IV exhibits high quality turf performance and improvedresistance to brown patch disease the most limiting factor in tall fescue propagation in warm summer-humid continental and transitional-humid climates of the southern USA. Falcon IV tied for 1st in brown patch resistance across 6 test locations in the Coastal Plains and Mid Southern USA. It also exhibits improved resistance to leaf spot, pythium blight and winter net blotch Dates: Spring and fall when soil temperatures are 60°F or higher. Turf type tall fescue is generally slow to tiller once germinated so higher soil temperatures and increasing photoperiod in spring or warm soils with decreasing photoperiod in the fall provide an optimal environment for seedling establishment. Rates: 6-8 lb./l,000 sq. ft. on new seeding and 2-3 lb./1,000 sq. ft. on established turf. Seed count of Falcon IV is 235,000 seeds per pound and is dependent on the year of harvest, location of production and seed production practices. Depth: Sow at ¼ to ½ inch. Slice seeding of existing turf may require lowered mowing height or growth regulator to reduce canopy height of existing turf. This management practice enhances establishment of newly emerging tall fescues seedlings. We ship free to the lower 48 States of the Continental U.S. only. Additional shipping charges will apply to any state or province located outside the Continental U.S.
