Adding sugar to grass seed will help it germinate quicker. It will help the grass retain water, and also encourage microorganisms to accumulate around the seed, resulting in helathier growth.

Yes, I have heard of adding sugar to grass seed. Because sugar absorbs so much water, the sugar-grass seed combination will stay moist throughout the growing process and allow the seeds to take root. Combining sugar and grass seed, surprisingly, may actually significantly improve your chances of growing grass in your yard.
