uns,” contends Dr. J.N. Pratt.
"The first important factor is
to use adequate amounts of
fertilizer. Summer annual
forages frequently produce
greater tonnages of forage than
summer perennial forages from
the same amount of fertilizer."
Although fertilizer supplies
and prices are different this
season than in previous years,
growth and protein content
result from adequate amounts of
fertilizer—especially nitrogen,
points out the Texas A&M
University System specialist.
"A soil test is the best
method for deciding on amounts
of fertilizer to apply. However,
in most areas of Texas, at least
60 pounds of nitrogen should be
used at each fertilizer applica-
tion.
"Another important factor,"
according to Pratt, "is to use the
forage when it is high quality.
Summer annual forages grow
rapidly during spring and early
summer when soil moisture and
temperature conditions are
favorable. Part of the pasture
could be fenced separately to
permit harvesting hay from
excess forage.”
Summer annual forages tend
to produce large stalks and seed
heads rather than leaves when
they mature. This means that
summer annual pastures should
be shredded or harvested into
hay whenever plants have a
