For Bermuda grass, a fertilizer with a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K) is ideal, typically around 3-1-2 or 4-1-2. A high-nitrogen fertilizer is particularly beneficial during the growing season to promote lush green growth. Look for slow-release formulations to provide nutrients over time, and consider applying a soil test to determine specific nutrient needs before fertilizing. Regular feeding every 6-8 weeks during the growing season will help maintain healthy turf.
