1 The Grass Is Always Greener: Forage Varieties and Selection Dr. Ann Blount, Forage Breeding and Genetics NFREC-Marianna and Quincy
2 Considerations for Variety Selection 1. North vs. South 2. Perennial vs. Annual 3. Soil Type 4. Class of Livestock 5. Your Management Style 6. Pest Considerations
3 1. North vs. South Climate Subtropical versus temperate species Temperature Rainfall (or irrigation) Photoperiod Vernalization
4 Bahiagrass-photoperiod response Examples UF-Riata Argentine Pensacola Tifton 9 Red Clover-photoperiod response Triticale-freeze tolerance and vernalization
5 2. Perennial vs. Annual Forages Perennial Bahiagrass Bermudagrass Stargrass Limpograss Perennial Peanut Fescue (????) (Short Term) Alfalfa White clover Carpon desmodium Stylosanthes
6 Annual Forage Types Pearl Millet Sorghum Sorghum-Sudangrass Crabgrass Wheat Oat Rye Triticale Ryegrass Clover Vetch Medic Winter pea Lupine Aeschynomene
