Thanks, what do you think, 80% of normal or more like 50% of normal?

I don’t have an answer on the %, but my average soil temperature yesterday was 98 degrees so that’ll be one of your biggest problems. You want it more around 65-80, but by the time it gets to that then you don’t have much time for it to grow and establish before winter.

I’d still try sometime in the next few weeks, but just note that if you put excess seed thinking you’ll increase the amounts of seed that germinates, you also run the risk of cannibalization where the fastest seeds to germinate will starve the others of nutrients and sunlight.

You'd probably have to look at a University study from a deep south college. LSU, A&M, Miss St, etc. There's about 2 million bermuda seeds per pound so I would just be guessing what % would germinate.
