Bahia Pensacola Argentina Origin: Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay High nutritional value when mature Primarily used as a forage (pasture, hay) Also used for erosion control Planted from seeds

Bermudagrass Many different types Coastal Jiggs Tifton 85 Fast growing (2-3 in/day) Planted from sprig to tops Primary used for pasture and hay

Dallisgrass Origin: Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil Used for pasture and minimal hay High nutritional value Bunch type grass Very leafy Poisonous

Johnsongrass Origin: Mediterranean area Drought tolerance Used for hay and grazing with high management requirements Prussic acid potential Inhibits oxygen usage by cells, too much prussic acid can cause animal suffocation

Sorgum-Sudan Grass Origin: Northeast Africa Can grow 4-8 feet tall, very leafy Seeds drilled into cultivated soils Used for hay, pasture and silage Short season June-September

Resucegrass (prariegrass) Origin: Mediterranean area Used for pasture High nutritional quality

Annual Ryegrass Origin: Europe High Nutritional quality Used for pasture, hay, silage Great for high rainfall areas Tolerates heavy grazing

Small Grains Rye Oats Wheat Barley Origin: Turkey, Iraq, Europe Pasture, hay, silage usage High response to nitrogen fertilizer Require high phosphorous and potassium
