Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon)


Bermudagrass is a warm-season perennial forage grass renowned for its exceptional heat and drought tolerance, making it a cornerstone of southern and plains-region pastures. Fast-growing and resilient, it thrives in hot, dry climates and recovers rapidly after grazing or mowing. This aggressive sod-former delivers nutrient-rich summer forage and excellent erosion control with minimal maintenance—ideal for both livestock operations and erosion-prone landscapes.

Key Benefits


  • Extreme Drought Tolerance: Deep-rooted rhizomes help Bermudagrass survive 6–7 months of low moisture. It remains productive during dry spells and requires little supplemental irrigation once established.
  • Low Maintenance: Spreads vigorously through stolons and rhizomes, forming a dense sod that suppresses weeds and resists wear. Responds well to nitrogen but performs reliably in low-fertility soils.
  • Erosion Control: A top choice for slopes, riverbanks, and disturbed land, Bermudagrass anchors soil with a vigorous root system and dense surface growth, reducing runoff and stabilizing ground.
  • Grazing Resilience: Withstands repeated grazing and trampling better than most grasses. Recovers quickly with proper rotational grazing and remains palatable throughout the summer months.
  • Wildlife Habitat: Provides summer forage for deer and upland gamebirds. Dense cover offers protection for ground-nesting birds and beneficial insects.
  • Landscape Utility: Turf-type cultivars create lush, durable lawns and sports fields. Ideal for warm, sunny regions with high foot traffic needs and minimal water input.

Considerations


  • Wildflower Competition: Bermudagrass is highly competitive. Not recommended for use in wildflower or native mixes unless carefully managed.
  • Frost Sensitivity: Goes dormant and browns with frost; not suitable for northern cold-winter climates without warm-season dormancy planning.

Ideal Uses


  • Summer pasture for cattle, sheep, goats, and horses
  • Rotational grazing systems needing quick recovery
  • Riverbanks, slopes, or erosion-prone areas
  • Turfgrass lawns, athletic fields, and sunny landscapes
  • Low-input pastures in drought-prone regions

Planting & Management


  • Seeding Rate: 15–20 lbs/acre for forage applications (hulled seed); 5–10 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. for turfgrass
  • Planting Time: Late spring to early summer after soil temps exceed 65°F
  • Soil Needs: Well-drained soils with pH 5.5–7.5
  • Maintenance: Mow to 3–6 inches for pasture; fertilize with nitrogen as needed for maximum production
