ManagementA soil test is highly recommended as teff needs adequate phosphorous, potassium and sulfur for optimum growth. Appliyng 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre at planting will be sufficient for good forage production. Additional amounts of nitrogen may be needed after each cutting. For optimum forage quality, teff should be harvested in the pre-boot to early boot stage, approximately 50 days after planting at a cutting height of 3 to 4 inches. Harvest regrowth in 35 to 45 days depending on environmental conditions. Attaining a soil samples and following soil test recommendations is a good way to ensure high quality forage. Seeding RatesAs with all teff grass, Bonus requires a frost-free growing season. Avoid sowing seeds too deep and too far apart. Ideal depth for most forage seeds is 1/8-1/4 inches. Planting seeds deeper than 1/4 inch may not allow them to establish. Sufficient seed-to-soil contact is extremely vital. Rolling or packing the soil after seeding can ensure this. If no-tilling, the right seeding depth is 1/4 inches deep. Bonus can be broadcast seeded followed by harrowing or packing.
