Unhulled Bermuda Couch
Available in a 25kg bag, Bermuda grass, more commonly as Couch grass in Australia.
Rhizomes can penetrate 40-50 cm in clay soil and 70-80 cm in sand. Foliage dense, 10-40 cm tall (rarely to 90 cm)
Limitations
Grows in grassland, lawns and pastures and as a weed in cultivation. Locally dominant along roadsides and overgrazed and trampled areas. Uses/applications
Provides useful standover or deferred feed. Valuable for soil conservation, as a turf, and as a cover crop in orchards Soil requirements
Adapted over a broad range of soil pH (4.5-8.5), but grows best when the pH is above 5.5. Very drought tolerant by virtue of rhizome survival through drought-induced dormancy over periods of up to 7 months. Tolerates at least several weeks of deep flooding not shade tolerant and yields decrease rapidly with increasing shade. It usually dies out under medium to dense shade Defoliation Extremely tolerant of heavy grazing, but more productive if correctly managed. Regular grazing and nitrogen fertilisation are necessary to maintain quality. Cut for hay or silage when 30-40 cm tall or every 4-6 weeks, usually when in full bloom. 4 cuttings per year are possible. A stubble height of 5-10 cm under grazing or cutting gives good regrowth and maintains sward density. Renovate by ploughing or discing when sod-bound. Establishment
Ability to spread
The rhizomes are given to horses
