Sorghum × sudangrass hybrids (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench × Sorghum sudanense P. Stapf.) were seeded into tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) sod, which had been temporarily suppressed with paraquat4 (l,l'‐dimethyl‐4,4'‐bipyridinium dichloride). Sod‐seeded De‐Kalb ‘Sudax SX‐12’, with N fertilizer banded under the seed, produced as much forage as conventionally seeded Sudax. Sod‐seeded ‘Sudax SX‐11’ and SX‐12, with N broadcast at seeding, produced less forage than conventionally seeded Sudax, unless enough paraquat was applied to damage tall fescue permanently. Combined yield of tall fescue and sod‐seeded Sudax, under the best management, was about 60% greater than yields of either fescue or Sudax alone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
