Abstract
Abstract Increased interest in summer forage production in southern Mississippi prompted this study, comparing the performance of five perennial grasses. Plots of ‘Coastal,’‘Alicia,’ ‘Coastcross‐1,’ and Common bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon L. Pers.) plus ‘Pensacola’ bahiagrass ( Paspalum notatum Flugge) were harvested monthly during the 1973 growing season and at 2 and 4‐week intervals during 1974. Parameters measured were dry matter yield, digestible dry matter, and crude protein. Results show Alicia and Coastcross‐1 bermudagrass exhibited vigorous 1st‐year growth, but performance decreased during the 2nd year, especially of Alicia. Common also decreased in forage production in the 2nd year. Coastal maintained approximately the same level of growth both years, and bahiagrass increased in total yield during the second growing season.
