Giant Bermudagrass
(Cynodon
dactylon)
Introduced, perennial, warm season sod forming grass. Grows
up to 2 feet tall, dark bluish-green sod grass with both rhizomes
and stolons that take root at nodes. The internodes are flattened.
The ligule is a conspicuous ring of white hairs. The inflorescence
has 3-6 purple spikes which resemble a bird's foot. Similar to
common bermudagrass, however grows more upright.
Adaptation:
Adapted
to most soil types, performs best on sandy to mix soils. Grows
in areas with 25" annual rainfall or greater.
Uses:
Poor
for wildlife, good grazing for livestock, excellent for hay production
and erosion control. Responds well to high fertility, excellent
choice for overseeding tank dams, and waterways. |
