[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1631306, member: 24565"] "Southern Forages, 5th Edition" shows a chart of 150 lbs of N and daily gain of 0.95 lbs/day and total gain per acre of 222 pounds. Adding N will boost the protein. If you have sandy soils the N can be gone fairly quickly with heavy rains. So split applications would be ideal. The best "cure" would be to adjust the pH to favor legumes and get whatever legumes that are recommended for you area in your pastures. They will add N plus greatly improve forage quality and animal performance. Just because a species or selection is recommended does not mean it will work for you or me. So the safest thing is to do a shotgun mix or not get caught up on one species and let the survivors pay their way. Bahiagrass is a great grass if managed properly especially for keeping livestock during drought periods. It has a shorter time cycle to have the most grazing value so rotations need to be less than in a bermudagrass situation. [/QUOTE]
