Bahiagrass
Pensacola Bahiagrass
This variety of bahiagrass greens up earlier than TifQuick, but plays out more quickly in the fall. Yields 10-15% less than TifQuick. Mature bahiagrass can be very unpalatable to livestock, so begin grazing when the plant is younger (6-8") so it is more nutritious and palatable. This is one of the most traffic tolerant forages once established. While bahiagrass can survive with limited nutrients, it does respond positively to fertility.
