There are many management scenarios that would work but one of the simplest would be to graze the native from April until June 30, then let it rest until after frost. This will lead to a healthy native grass stand. The Bermuda portion would be fertilized May 1 and August 30. It would then be grazed from July through November. Cattle would then wintered on the dormant native grass with the addition of a grain based supplement. Any left over Bermuda grass would be grazed as needed.

Mid February through Mid April is the best time. Later than this, we run into problems with excessive annual grass competition and moisture loss during the time the Bermuda grass is trying to spread. See similar questions...

That depends! In pastures that have no cool season grasses in them like ryegrass, fertilizing from Mid April to the first of May would be recommended. If the pasture has ryegrass, fertilizing for the Bermuda growth should take place May 1 to June 1. If fertilized earlier than this the ryegrass will use up that fertilizer before the Bermuda has a chance to begin growing rapidly. If fall forage is needed, fertilizing Bermuda in late august can provide high quality grazing well into December. See similar questions...

According to chemical studies, the optimal water temperature for drip coffee is 95-98C. According to my notes, colder water doesn't extract enough caffeine/essential oils from the beans, and above such temperature the acidity increases wildly. Fact: Unless you are buying some major debris, bean quality is not very important, as compared to 1-3 and 5. Fact: A coffee can in the supermarket often contains major debris, so be careful when you choose. (See note below). See similar questions...

degrees. - although cooler storage temperatures are definitely not a problem for cigars (as long as you maintain a reasonable relative humidity). Why do we attempt to keep them at 70 deg. then? The key is in the subtle difference between stable storage and true aging. Your cigars will not age, mature, mellow, or develop the complex character of well cured smokes at lower temperatures.

Under high fertility, some of the newer varieties of Bermuda have the potential to produce above 6 tons of forage when high rates of nitrogen are applied on deep, moderately drained soils. With no fertility, on average, we expect 1 ton of production/year on Bermuda grass pastures. With the rainfall we receive in S.E. Oklahoma, 3 to 4 tons/ac is easy to accomplish under the proper soil fertility practices. See similar questions...

Unfertilized old growth Bermuda, will have protein contents in the 3 to 5 % range. Fall fertilized Bermuda has been known to hold protein contents of 10 to 12% all the way up into January. Probably not, sprigging a Bermuda grass pasture can cost upwards of $100 per acre, and the loss of a years worth of production. If the pasture has Bermuda grass plants scattered throughout the field, it would be more cost effective to properly fertilize it. See similar questions...

The best way would be to plant it with a specialized seeder that can handle small seed. One brand is a Brillion seeder that drops the seed and a set of packer wheels push it into contact with the soil. If a seeder is un-available, scattering the seed with a three point whirly bird seeder can be effective. Start with the gate on the seeder closed as tightly as it will go and still allow seed to come out. Test it on a few acres and adjust it open if enough seed is not being applied.

Disk it in September or October and let it winter kill. You will not get 100% control and you will essentially be re-sprigging the Bermuda grass. Also expect new plants to come up from seed. There are some chemicals that are active against Bahia. Check with your extension educator for chemical options. See similar questions...

Ryegrass can be mixed with fertilizer and applied to the pasture through the fertilizer spreader or it can be spread with a three point whirly bird type seeder. It can also be planted by a drill with a small seed box but care should be taken to not plant it deeper than ? inch. With broadcast seeding, pulling a chain harrow over the pasture after seeding will increase germination and survival of the plants. See similar questions...

Your lawn may have a disease called Spring Dead Spot. This disease is very difficult to control. Rake the dead areas to encourage fill in from healthy grass plants growing adjacent to the spot. See similar questions...

We find most Paphs will grow just fine at temperatures and humidity levels with which we ourselves are comfortable. Ideally, Paphs probably would like maximum temperatures not above the 85F range, but can tolerate much higher temperatures with minimal stress especially with additionally misting and/or humidity. See similar questions...

We suggest beginning at 40oC and working up to 55oC. It is not necessary and often not advisable to exceed this temperature. See similar questions...

Bermuda is known as the Shipwreck Capital of the Atlantic. There are more accessible wrecks (over 400) off Bermuda's coast than in any other location. The Bermuda Biological Station for Research (BBSR) provides a great base for our exploration of Bermuda's history and wrecks. Their well-equipped facilities include dive boats, underwater ROVs, research libraries, classrooms and a full-time staff with an intimate knowledge of the area and the underwater world.

Probably not, since native grass in good condition needs little or no management inputs, there is no cheaper way to put forage in an animal if you have plenty of acres. On the other hand, if you have few acres, and must raise a large number of animals on a small acreage, then an introduced grass might fit you better. See similar questions...

No grass will grow in complete shade however we have found Sir Walter to perform the best in shaded areas if mown longer than normal prior to winter. Generally Sir Walter requires a minimum of 3 hours of direct sunlight or 4 hours of filtered sunlight per day. See similar questions...

lbs of Amm. Nitrate is about 50 units of N. A good rule of thumb is that for every addition 50 units of N added, we would expect a ton of production. We normally expect Bermuda grass to produce 1 ton without fertilizer so adding 50 units of N should increase our production to 2 tons per acre. A better strategy would be to add 100 units of N to increase production to 3 tons per acre since the Bermuda is more efficient at these higher levels of nitrogen fertility. See similar questions...

The body absorbs cooler water more quickly, according to Ed Burke, one of America's foremost exercise physiologists and an athletic hydration expert. 50 - 60 F. is optimal. Your CamelBak will keep fluid insulated for 3-4 hours, more if you use ice cubes. See similar questions...

Handi-Foam should be applied when the temperature of the tank contents is between 75 and 85 degrees F. If the tank or can is warm to the touch then it will dispense properly. It is important to remember that the contents of the tanks will take some time to warm up completely. This is a non-issue on a warm summer day. But in winter if the tanks have been stored in an unheated area it may take a considerable time to be certain the actual contents have warmed up. See similar questions...
