[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 527636, member: 1604"] Properly cared for Bermuda has a much better root system than Bahia. I've seen bermuda roots to be as deep as 4-6 feet. But the problem is that fast and lush top growth in grass is always gained at the expense of the roots. Those that have a good plot of Bermuda tend to try and get maximum hay production at the expense of those roots by pouring the nitrogen to it. Potash is a root building fertilizer. Bermuda that is pushed hard needs lots of it. It's true about PH also, Bermuda requires a dang near neutral soil where Bahia will take more acidity. Not much of a comparison to Bahia and Hybrid Bermuda hay as far as analysis goes either, the bahia is always high in ADF. The advantage that Bahia has over Hybrid Bermuda is that the seed are viable and will reproduce from them.. It's poor feed though. [/QUOTE]
