Abstract:
... Management strategies for using raw and composted dairy manures on perennial forages are not well defined. This study compared the effects of raw or composted dairy manure alone, or in combination with supplemental inorganic fertilizers (IFs), on ‘Coastal’ bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] yield. Composted manure was split applied with 14.5 Mg ha⁻¹ in 2002 and 2003 for a total of 29 Mg ha ...

Abstract:
... Models are being developed and utilized by scientists and government agencies to quantify the potential for carbon storage in soil. The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) v. 3060 model is a process-based model requiring detailed inputs. The soil conditioning index (SCI) is a simpler tool to predict relative change in soil organic carbon (SOC) using table values for three management com ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen is an important agronomic input for bermudagrass production in the southern USA. Fertilizers that can efficiently provide N to grass pastures and hay meadows are an important issue because of increasing costs and environmental problems associated with N losses. This experiment was designed to determine the effectiveness of various N sources on ‘Coastal’ bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) ...

Abstract:
... Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] forages are potential alternatives to traditional row cropping in the Southern High Plains. Early persistence of certain bermudagrass selections and economic potential and nutritive value of known, improved cultivars in semiarid West Texas are uncertain. A 2-yr study was conducted to evaluate hay productivity and nutritive value of 10 cultivars and two se ...

Abstract:
... Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter was applied to Coastal Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) at various rates based on N and P requirements of the soil at two different locations in south-central Texas. One site was located on coarse sandy soil (fine, montmorillonite, thermic Udertic Paleustolls) while the other site was a finer heavier soil (fine, montmorillonitic, thermic Udic Pe ...

Abstract:
... Models provide a quantitative means to evaluate yield response of forage grasses to applied N and water availability. The objective of this analysis was to estimate model parameters (A, b, c) for bermu. dagrasses and bunchgrasses grown at the same location and during the same time period. The logistic equation was used to relate annual dry matter production to applied N for three bermudagrasses [C ...

Abstract:
... Digestibility of bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] decreases with age and varies during the growing season, but cultivar responses are not well documented. Five cultivars of bermudagrass (‘Coastal’, ‘Callie’, ‘Tifton 68’, ‘S-16’, and ‘S-83’), representing a wide range in digestibility, were grown in replicated plots at College Station, TX on a fine, loamy, mixed, thermic Typic Udifluvent ...
