The Effects of Continued Use of Heavy Rates of Fertilizers on Forage Production and Quality of Coastal Bermudagrass¹

Synopsis: Coastal Bermudagrass produced an average (1954–57) of 13.0 tons of 13% protein hay per acre when fertilized with 1000 pounds of nitrogen annually. Without nitrogen 2.7 tons of 8% protein hay was produced. Four hundred pounds of N annually produced 8.6 tons of 12% protein hay. Plant and soil analyses suggest a 5-1-2 ratio of N, P₂O₅ and K₂O should be applied to obtain high production. Liming is necessary to control soil acidity.
