Monaco Bermudagrass Seeds | Crop Failure For a Great Alternative, Try Yukon Bermuda! Monaco Bermudagrass is coated with Yellow Jacket Enhanced Seed Coating. Yellow Jacket is like having a sponge around each and every seed. Once water is applied, the coating holds that moisture and other nutrients around the seed – making them available as needed for germination and establishment. Without coating, the water simply passes the seed, allowing it to dry out, resulting in more frequent watering and increased expense. Featuring advanced generation Azuba, a starch-based super-absorbent capable of holding up to 600 times its own weight in water, University of New Mexico trials demonstrate Yellow Jacket enhanced seed establishes faster than raw seed and requires less water. Faster, stronger turf establishment provides superior natural competition to weeds and disease. This results in improved turf quality, reduced establishment costs and faster utilization of a newly seeded area.
