A new factsheet on production and management of Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) in North Carolina has been published. You can access the publication in html and pdf format here.

Bermudagrass is a warm-season perennial grass and one of the most important forage and turf species in the southeastern United States. Over the years, acreage of bermudagrass has increased in North Carolina. Most productive during the summer, bermudagrass is a nutritious forage that is well suited for both grazing and hay production, mainly in the coastal plain and piedmont. This publication is primarily for Extension agents and land and livestock managers seeking detailed information about bermudagrass production in the state, including cultivar characteristics, propagation, fertilization, and pest and disease management.
