TifWay 419 - Bermuda Overview
Characteristics
Temperature Range of Adaptation - Tifway grows best in warm climates within 45 degrees latitude to the equator. Temperatures in excess of 100 degrees F. (38 degrees C.) are readily tolerated by healthy Tifway. May become dormant after repeated winter frosts but recovers quickly when temperatures warm.
Water Quality Tolerance
On a suitably drained profile Tifway can tolerate soil concentration of 2500 ppm total salts. It is well adapted to "brown" water sources and is commonly used in municipal and food industry effluent land application systems.
Drought Tolerance
Tifway will survive droughts with minimal water availability. One to two inches (25 to 50 mm) of actual available water weekly to the plant will provide an acceptable turf surface. Tifway will survive at 1/2 inch (12 mm) irrigation per week, dependent on soil physics.
Weed Tolerance
Tifway's dense growth, when properly cared for, efficiently competes with the presence of many turf weeds. Tifway easily deals with broadcast application of selective herbicides.
Insect/Pest Tolerance
With the exception of certain leaf feeding insects (army worms in late summer/early fall), Tifway demonstrates tolerance or quick recovery from damage after pest control treatments.
Soil Fertility
Tifway grows best when soil pH is between 6.0 to 7.0. Soil levels of 100 pounds/acre (112 kg/hectare) of phosphorous and 150 to 200 pounds/acre to 224 kg/hectare) potassium will provide sufficient plant growth. Nitrogen applied at 1 pound/1000 sq. ft. per month will provide a healthy plant when combined with the recommended phosphorous and potassium.
Establishment
Tifway is a sterile (no viable seed) Triploid plant species and is successfully propagated as sprigs (rhizomes, stolons and Stems) or as sod.
