 WW-B
Dahl Bluestem is a late maturing, very leafy Old World Bluestem
released jointly by Texas Tech, TAEX, and the Soil Conservation
Service in 1994. WW-B Dahl looks somewhat like KR bluestem but
has a much higher leaf to stem ratio, thus increasing quality
significantly. Crude protein is typically 10 to 12 percent.
B dahl is also highly palatable, with livestock preferring
it over most  other
grasses. Forage production is outstanding with yields as high
as 9 to 12 tons per acre possible. B dahl has very small fertility
requirement, needing only 50 lbs. of nitrogen per acre per year
to achieve high yields. D dahl also has good drought tolerance. |
