Sowing and establishment
Manzini diploid sabi grass pasture seed can be sown into similar soil types as Premier digit. This includes sands, sandy loams, clay loams, red clay types and soil with varying fertility levels. Seed should be sown when soil temperatures are 18 degrees and rising. Unlike other tropical grasses, it is advantageous to dry sow Manzini during the hotter months and whilst awaiting post sowing rainfall.
