Fig. 2 Mean daily herbage accumulation of three bahiagrass entries during each growth period of 15 or 30 d during (a) 19931994 and (b) 19941995 at Ona, FL and (c) 19931994 and (d) 19941995 at Tifton, GA. Within sampling dates, means accompanied by different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05); ns, not significantly different
