Abstract
Bermudagrass Fertility Trial in Southeast Kansas, 2020
Highlights
Bermudagrass is a high yielding summer perennial and an efficient nitrogen (N) user
In 2020 a bermudagrass fertility study was conducted at the K-State Research and Extension experiment station outside of Columbus, KS
Greater improvements in forage quality were observed by mowing the bermudagrass
Summary
Bermudagrass is a high yielding summer perennial and an efficient nitrogen (N) user. Under high fertility and ideal growing conditions, bermudagrass is capable of producing large amounts of high-quality forage that can be harvested multiple times a year. Producers take different approaches to forage production, ranging from no fertilizer, differing amounts of fertilizer, and frequency of fertilizer application. Another main difference in management is whether the producer allows the forage to grow during the season or if the producer harvests the forage, returning the grass to a vegetative state. This study compared different fertilizer rates, timing, and harvesting scenarios corresponding with how producers manage their own fields to determine forage quality and production
