Hello nature lover.....!

BERMUDAGRASS

ADAPTATION: Bermudagrass grows best on heavy to light soils and under good fertilization and water availability. It can be grown in deeper sandy soils than most grasses. It Grows well all across the temperate areas (warm season) with plenty of sunshine and higher temperatures. Bermuda is a Good choice for drought prone and coastal areas.

COLDER STATE LOCATIONS:
(Northern part of red states on map at right)
Improved varieties with better cold tolerance than basic
common bermuda types should be used in areas including
Oklahoma, N. Texas, N Arkansas, Tenn, NC and Virginia.

Varieties with higher cold tolerance (ability to survive lower temps with less damage)  include Yukon, Mohawk, Riviera and Paloma.

ADAPTATION:   This perennial warm season tropical grass is probably one of the most versatile grasses now grown from the tropics throughout the temperate zone.  Having probably come from Asia and/or Africa and used only for pastures in the beginning, Bermuda has been adapted by man for some of the most elite purposes for athletics fields and golf courses world wide. Science has developed this southern grass species as close to northern bent grass as possible and is still improving upon the varieties almost seasonally.

*MAP NOTE: Bermuda seeded varieties planted in the more Northern areas marked in red on above map should be selected from "cold tolerant" varieties such as Yukon or Mohawk in order to reduce an increased risk of winter kill from low winter temperatures.  Hybrid varieties: Some hybrid varieties (sprigged or sodded) provide a slightly increased cold hardiness range of adaptation than seeded varieties.

Once adapted only to vegetative plantings, the newer seeded varieties are vying for better positions on the lawns of the world.  These newer adaptations allow  the grass to grow slightly further north and have been selected for better drought tolerance than the older more common variety. The blade texture has been adapted to finer, thinner blades more in common with the northern grasses. Adaptation to salt spray adds to the popularity as a coastal grass.  Bermuda is usually not as disease or insect plagued as St. Augustine.  The adaptability of being grown by home owners from seed has added to it's acceptance as a grass of choice.

Bermudagrass is also adaptive to areas of potential flooding. Although this is not a water loving grass to the extent that other warm season grasses may be, it can take getting wet short periods of time; when the period of flooding is over and the land returns to the degree of drainage as before, Bermuda will re-grow quickly. This does not mean heavy flooding  that stays for an extended length of time. All grasses will die when oxygen is cut off except those adapted to grow in the water.

As one of the original grasses introduced to the "New World" it is still used today in forage and hay fields worldwide.  The better pastures and hay producers still seem to be the ones that are grown from vegetative material with the common being still being grown because of the low cost and ease of seeding. As is true in the lawn grasses there are improved varieties available in seed form that produce more forage than the common Bermudagrass. This is one grass that has to be carefully chosen because in some areas it is considered a weed and is highly invasive.
