Bahiagrass - Pensacola

This variety of bahiagrass greens up earlier than TifQuick but declines more quickly in the fall. It yields 10-15% less than TifQuick. Mature bahiagrass can be very unpalatable to livestock, so it is best to begin grazing when the plant is younger (6-8 inches) to ensure that it is more nutritious and easier for animals to eat. Once established, this variety is one of the most traffic-tolerant forages. Although bahiagrass can survive in conditions with limited nutrients, it responds positively to fertilization.
