[QUOTE="novatech, post: 400843, member: 5494"] I am in no way putting down bermudagrass. The specific bluestem mentioned is not what you are looking at when you drive down the hiway. WW-b Dahl is more leafy and more palatable than most of the others. It has been tested and developed because of the low rainfall in the Texas panhandle and lower Oklahoma. Protein levels are 8 to 10%. It does not spread like bremuda but with seed. The germination rate of the seed is high and the grass is considered to be very aggresive, choking out most other vegatation. Cattle also do well on it as standing forage as it hold it nutrients longer than some of the other grasses. Although it may not give the production and protein levels of hibred bremudas It far less expensive to plant. Production is 12000 lb. per A, useing 60 lbs. N per yr. with 30 in. rain per yr. I would not claim this is a miracle grass but would be worth investigateing and/or testing on a small area. Other advantages, it is wildlife friendly (deer,quail) and a fireant retardant. [/QUOTE]
