Bernuda resurgence

[cowsrus]

With some rains and cooler weather the last couple of weeks, the bermuda grass has been growing like crazy in my pastures. Not really growing tall, but showing up all over where i hadn't seen it all year. I always heard that bermuda had some deep roots and now that i see that its still there, i just need to figure out a plan to bring it back to life a little earlier in the year next spring. Soil test is first of course, should i do that now or wait till spring?

Soil test now. If you need lime to correct pH, it will have time to to go to work. You will also be able to shop for best fertilizer prices early next spring. Wait until your night time temperatures get up to 58 to 60 degrees.

Most of your Bermuda grasses use nitrogen more than any thing.

If you don't graze the bermuda prior to frost and let it build it's root system, it should come out stronger next spring. Just wait until a frost has put it to sleep and then graze it off. The quality will still be good for a couple of months in the winter, if not longer.
