Bahia grass is a warm season perennial, dense tufted bunchgrass. It
produces numerous leaves up to 12 inches in length and the plant can reach
heights of 1 to 2.5 feet tall. Has erect stems that produce a Y shaped
forked seed head which is considered visually objectionable by some individuals,
when left un-mowed in lawns.
Origin:
Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay.
Description:
Perennial.
Primary Adaption:
Best on sandy soils. Bahia is also tolerant of drought and poor drainage.

erosion control - some lesser quality turf areas.
Planting Rate:
15-25lbs. an acre in March or April.
Fertilization: Tolerant
of low fertility and soil acidity. Responds to nitrogen and
potassium. Obtain a soil test - lime may be required for best
performance.

April-October
Management: When in pasture
use, close grazing is desirable. Over-seed with winter annuals if
desired. Very prolific in warm weather with adequate moisture.
Pests:
Not usually a problem.
