[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1844010, member: 43196"] You hit the nail on the head. Up north, nutrient management had an impact, but not near as much as what I see down here. The key is recognizing that the improved varieties of both Bermuda and Bahia have the POTENTIAL for higher production withe correct/managed nutrient levels/fertilizer. The rub/issue comes with the added management needed to maintain those levels in the sandy soils in the south that tend to be less capable of maintaining a higher constant nutrient level that is available for the improved grass varieties that demand this to produce the higher touted yields. Without this added management level, the hybrids/improved grass varieties simply aren't going to produce the yields touted but will instead produce based on the soil potential, which is going to be considerably closer to the production levels of the 'common' grass species varieties currently on the field.
