Effects of Seasonal Nitrogen on Binary Mixtures of Tall Fescue and Bermudagrass

Abstract: Using poultry litter responsibly in cool-season/bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] production systems may require supplemental N fertilization. is study determined if productivity in binary mixtures of tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort] and bermudagrass could be improved through applying litter and fertilizer N to coincide with seasonal growth activities. e e ects of N timing on dry matter (DM) yield, forage N and P contents, and fescue percent stand were investigated in binary mi… Show more

“…This moisture deficit was relieved through four irrigations in summer 2010. Nonetheless, cumulative DM yield in summer was 11% less in 2010 than 2009 (5·1 vs. 5·7 t ha −1 ; P < 0·05) owing to less biomass in August and September (Read et al ., ).…”

“…In grasses, the DM yield responds primarily to N, therefore the timing of N application (inorganic or organic) on mixed swards of tall fescue and bermudagrass can influence agronomic forage traits as well as the environment (Brink et al ., ; Read et al ., ). Autumn, winter and early‐spring N fertilization (150 kg ha −1 ; split 50–50–50) of a tall fescue–bermudagrass binary mixture in a 3‐year study in Louisiana resulted in the greatest basal cover of fescue and total DM yield, with less warm‐season forage production in two years that had normal rainfall, compared with late‐spring, summer and early‐autumn N fertilization (Pitman, ).…”

“…Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbyish] shows an active and intensive growth from early April to June in the southeastern United States (Read, Lang, & Adeli, 2014), and if producers can better manage spring yields, there could be an opportunity to better utilize vegetative growth efficiently (Riesterer et al, 1999).…”
