[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 618295, member: 4362"] Bahia is very drought tolerant. It is also tolerant to poor fertility. Its called the "poor man's grass" here cause anyone can grow it under most any situation with little if any inputs. We grow pennascola and Tift 9. To me there is little difference between the two except Tift 9 will green up quicker and brown up later than the straight penn. Another thing I've noticed is that bahia is difficult to grow clover in due to the heavy root mat - unless you break the mat with a harrow or a pasture king. To me, bahia is like the Energizer Bunny - it just keeps growing and growing. Nothing spectacular just steady growth. One last thing, in my opinion, its not worth cutting hay on it. I prefer to leave it there and not take the nutrients from the soil. I rarely ever fertilize bahia and it does quite well. [/QUOTE]
