During short days, forage DM harves

During short days, forage DM harvested of bahiagrass, guineagrass, and bermudagrass varied depending on the exper- imental location. Bahiagrass consistently had greater DM harvested across all three locations in response to extended daylength during October through April. The positive response in St. Croix with a lower fertilizer application proved that if photoperiod had an influence even minimum fertilizer should allow a positive response as was the case in this location. The findings from these three locations corroborate the considerable sensitivity of bahiagrass to photoperiod that has been reported in subtropical areas
